storm66: Is that consistently evolution is eating 50% of CPU ? Is there any issue like system performance gets affected when evolution is running ? Mention operation for which CPU utilization is high for a long time. As well paste stack traces of evolution when CPU utilization is high for quite long time. To get stack traces run evolution using gdb.
Hello, Evolution is "eating" 50% of CPU as soon as running. No special activity or operation is involved. The programm is OK, I can work as usual, read and send mails without seeing any difference in the responsiveness. But my system has two processors, so the responsiveness of other applications remains also good. What information can I get and send to help ? Regards JP Pozzi
I have upgraded my system the new version installed works well, can't reproduce the bug any more. Regards JP Pozzi
thanks a lot for the feedback! closing this as obsolete and assuming it is fixed, if this is still reproducible, please reopen! thanks in advance.
