Version: (using KDE 4.0.1) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux Plasma uses more and more cpu the more news feeds I add to the newsticker plasmoid. On average about 20%-30% per feed. When adding feeds the icons for the feeds are not showing with the config window open. I add about 5-8 feeds and cpu usage of plasma is about 75%. Once I hit "OK" and the icons fill in for the feeds cpu shoots to 100%. Once I close the newsticker plasmoid cpu usage goes back to normal.
this would be a knewsticker bug (it has its own component) in bugs.kde.org. however, it's not actually a knewsticker bug, it's an upstream bug in Qt. Trolltech is aware of it and working on a solution.
Thanks for the info. On 14 Feb 2008 16:38:01 -0000, Aaron J. Seigo <aseigo@kde.org> wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
Hello, I'm hitting this bug as well, and quite the same situation as bug reporter, any news about it? It looks like it's only appearing when I use kwin effects. I'm on an intel video card with latest video driver and mesa 7.0.3-rc2. I could provide backtraces and more info on request. Thanks.
I have the same problem. when I use knewsticker plasma have 100% cpu usage with a: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8200 @ 2.66GHz I think that cannot be normal??
