[Bug 1582930] Re: psensor CPU usage jumps when graph window loses focus

[Hans-Gregor Gehrke]

Hi,
Jean-Philippe, thank you for the fixed new version! It works well with Unity (Ubuntu 16.04 and default theme) without wasting CPU time. htop reports an average of about 0.6% cpu cycle time running in the background.
Therefore, I can confirm, the binaries provided by ppa:jfi/ppa (Version 1.1.5) fix the bug.

regards Gregor

Title:
  psensor CPU usage jumps when graph window loses focus

Status in psensor package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Spike in CPU usage occurs anytime the psensor graph window does not
  have the focus. You can verify this by having just one other small
  window on the desktop, Terminal for instance, and Alt-Tab between
  them. You'll see the CPU usage jump and fall as you do.

  This occurs with psensor 1.1.3-2ubuntu3 in ubuntu 16.04.

  The jump in CPU usage does not occur in an identically configured
  psensor 1.1.3-2ubuntu2 in ubuntu 15.10.

  I'm running a custom built PC with an AMD A8-3870 APU and no discrete
  graphics card or motherboard graphics. I am not using proprietary
  graphics drivers just the default graphics with ubuntu 15.10 and
  16.04.
