[Bug 1409032] Re: gvfsd-smb: very high CPU utilisation

[cogset]

Does the fact that I see this behavior in *Trusty* (see comment
[url=https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1409032/comments/33]33[/url]
mean that I'm experiencing this  same bug, or is it another issue
altogether for which I should open a separate bug?

Please notice that (as stated in comment 33) I've actually purged all
samba packages from this system, the only things left behind are some
samba libraries, and yet the  gvfsd-dnssd process would randomly start
for no reason that I can thin kof and load the CPU to the max.

  gvfsd-smb: very high CPU utilisation

Bug description:
  Example:

  I use Virtualbox and mount a .vdi on an SMB server. Using gvfsd-smb
  (browsing within Gnome to find the share), gvfsd-smb uses up to 50%
  CPU which slows down the entire system when accessing the network
  share. Mounting using sudo ($ sudo mount -t smbfs -o
  guest,nounix,noperm //server/share /media/share) so that cifs is used
  uses around 8% CPU. The difference is dramatic!

  If I didn't have sudo access my machine would grind to a halt when
  trying to use the remote share.
