Sorry for the branch from my original thread: Mythfrontend idle cpu consumption help. I thought I'd try to get the attention of those that may have efficiently working machines...if they're out there.<br><br>There seems to be people in the original thread that seem to think the issue I'm having IS happening to EVERYONE, and that this is by design. I see 14% utilization from mythfrontend when it just sits idle on a menu screen while the cpu is clocked at 1Ghz. With 0.21, I'm pretty sure it hovered between 0-2% utilization (what I'm calling normal).<br>
<br>So, as the Subject says, this a quick poll for those of you who have 0.22 installed. (I'm especially interested in those that are ubuntu based).<br><br>Who has a "normal" working 0.22 install and only sees 0-2% CPU utilization when sitting idle on mythfrontend menu screens. If this describes the behavior of your install, could you help me out in giving a short description of your system.<br>
</blockquote></div><br><br>I have one of each. They netboot from the same image, so the software shouldn't be significantly different. I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 Myth .22. The one that is at 0% is an AMD X2 3800+ on an Asus M3N78 w/2GB RAM. 512MB is dedicated to the onboard video with VDPAU. I believe it's also at the MythVideo menu at the moment, while the other one using more CPU is at the main Myth menu. No idea if that's significant. I never noticed the extra CPU use at the menus. Not a big deal to me, though it is surprising. I wouldn't have expected the CPU to be more than a few % busy sitting at a menu. <br>
<br>As sdkovacs mentioned, I think the machine using higher CPU is using the QT painter. I'm quite sure the other one is using OpenGL. Could that be the difference? <br>
