[Bug 93847] Re: Excessive CPU usage by Gnome System Monitor

[Jonathan M.]

>if you use 10 seconds, do you get that bug?

With 10 seconds update on both the taskbar and window, it is mostly
stable at <15%, although once in a while, it would report higher
numbers, over about five minutes I have seen a few over 80%, and about
every half a minute it goes to 30%.

If I remove it from the taskbar, and only have the window open, it seems
to have a lower average, but even so, it does once in a while report
60%+.

You might be right in that it is just normal CPU usage...
