---- Reported by geary-maint@gnome.bugs 2013-06-11 02:12:00 -0700 ---- Original Redmine bug id: 7070 Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/7070 Searchable id: yorba-bug-7070 Original author: Nil Gradisnik Original description: I'm using the latest Geary 0.3.1+trunk on Ubuntu 13.04. I really want to use Geary but looking at the CPU usage is scary. This is how it usually looks like after a 10min of being open: http://screencloud.net/img/screenshots/c01af455cf2415cc64cfaadd1a156b22.png There is always at least only one CPU core at 100% for some reason. Can I do something to help debug this problem? ---- Additional Comments From geary-maint@gnome.bugs 2013-09-16 08:58:00 -0700 ---- ### History #### #1 Updated by Jim Nelson 5 months ago * **Status** changed from _Open_ to _Need Information_ This could help us get started: $ geary --debug --log-network > geary.log Close Geary when the CPU pegs at 100% and send the log to geary@yorba.org. A couple of additional questions: 1. How many accounts do you have registered in Geary? 2. In gear menu -> Accounts -> Edit you can tell Geary how far back in your mail store to download. How far back are you going on your accounts? Thanks! #### #2 Updated by Nil Gradisnik 5 months ago Jim Nelson wrote: > This could help us get started: > > $ geary --debug --log-network > geary.log > > Close Geary when the CPU pegs at 100% and send the log to geary@yorba.org. > > A couple of additional questions: > > 1.

How far back are you going on your accounts? > > Thanks! Thanks, I sent the log output. I did some more testing and I can't seem to find the pattern that's causing such high cpu consumption. I left Geary running for a few minutes and it was all ok, I started clicking on emails and switching to different accounts and it went up to 100% again and didn't go down until I closed it. Very strange. I have 3 gmail accounts registered in Geary and all of them have the default '2 weeks back' set. #### #3 Updated by Nil Gradisnik 5 months ago * **Priority** changed from _High_ to _Low_ Removing my accounts and starting from scratch fixed this issue. So this might not be relevant any more. #### #4 Updated by Gunter Königsmann 2 months ago Did experience very high CPU usage when the network isn't working. Might it be you have encountered http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/7489 ? --- Bug imported by chaz@yorba.org 2013-11-21 20:19 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 7070 at http://redmine.yorba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7070 Unknown Component Using default product and component set in Parameters Unknown version " in product geary. Setting version to "!unspecified". Unknown milestone "unknown in product geary. Setting to default milestone for this product, "---". Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one. Resolution set on an open status. Dropping resolution
3 versions later, this bug is still a significant issue. I have a very large CPU usage when using geary even when it's idling.
Can you send us a log to help us get an idea of what's going on? $ geary --debug --log-network > geary.log Please send to geary@yorba.org, as it might contain sensitive information.

Hi all, as Jim mentioned in comment #2, can you please generate a log when this is occurring, but send it through to me? Thanks!
Maybe related to Bug 766547, since it's GMail in both cases.
