GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 634308
Pausing torrents with graphical transmission client and murrine themes uses much CPU
Last modified: 2018-07-11 12:36:33 UTC
Latest test shows 1% extra CPU per paused torrent, which adds up fast. I conjecture that the ghosted rendering of paused torrents is done in a non-optimal fashion. Tested with ambiance and then MurrinaChrome. Non-murrine-based themes do not exhibit this behaviour (pausing torrents does not increase CPU use.) Chipset: "ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE)" (ChipID = 0x5955) Platform: ubuntu maverick 10.10; installed beta on bare HD and upgraded CPU usage is normal with (gtk/gui-less) transmission-daemon. Also reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transmission/+bug/655024 -- it seems to me that excessive time is spent in libcairo. Other posters there have an ATI Radeon 9600 and an nvida GeForce 9 series. Thanks!
Murrine is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes in 2012. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/murrine/commits/master Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
