[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 396268] Re: Banshee uses too much CPU

[Patrick Scott]

In my case CPU usage jumps to an average to 60 - 90 percent usage on
both cores in the Gnome System Monitor "Resource" tab as soon as Banshee
is started on 11.04. What is interesting though, is that on the Process
tab of the System Monitor, Banshee registers as only using 1 - 5
percent. Also when I close Banshee, the CPU usage does not drop, the
only way to bring down my CPU is to Shut down the system, however, when
I do this I get a "File Manager" is not responding dialog. In my case it
seems that Banshee isn't playing nice with nautilus on natty, one thing
of note is that I have my music stored in a separate ntfs partition and
not in the home directory.

Ubuntu "Natty" Beta 2 - 11.04 (x64 bit) - Banshee 2.0

Title:
  Banshee uses too much CPU

Status in Banshee Music Player:
  Confirmed
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  While playing and minimized to the system tray, Banshee uses 65-70%
  CPU and also pushes pulseaudio CPU usage up to around 30%.
  Additionally, when using "next" or "previous" buttons Banshee CPU
  usage goes up to 150%. Importing approximately 6000 songs took over 20
  minutes, although the first 3000 or so only took about 5 minutes.

  System: P4 2.8 Ghz with hyperthreading, 2GB RAM

  Tested with latest Banshee from Jaunty repos and also the Banshee Team
  PPA version.
