[request] Fix the sudden CPU load when opening an app
Posted: Tue Jun 05, 2018 9:14 pm
I just installed the Beta of Mint 19 Cinnamon (I've been waiting for 19 for over a month) and I gotta say you've done great job so far. But there remains one thing it seems you have missed: when I run an application by clicking its icon, the CPU load spikes up suddenly, rising the temperature from 35-36 deg Celsius (that's the normal temp of my CPU when idling) to 55 which is the temperature (and the CPU fan goes nuts) when I play a heavy game. When the app is fully loaded, the temp goes back to normal. That happens with every single application, which makes me think the cause of that is in the DE itself.
Before the release of 19 I did some tests with DEs not only with Mint but with other distroes as well. The result from those tests is that KDE is the only DE that doesn't put such a load on the CPU when launching an application. However, KDE has other very annoying bugs, so I went back to Cinnamon as it being the most stable DE.
