CPU use higher after recent update

[Archie]

This had happened before when my dual core would be idle at around less than 10%. However, with the recent update (as with the occasional updates previously) they are way up at around 60%. Not really a major issue as I know that it would soon be rectified.

I am not running any additional processes and the configs are the same as it was when the CPU use was lower.

What I am wondering is what's causing it? I hope that the next updates would bring them back to a comfortable level.

press ctrl+esc

what is using more cpu?

about the 10%, my system that is a semprom keeps under 7%, why you have 10%?

what apps are you running?

Basically just X using around 40% and imwheel that's hitting between 10-15%, and of course there's a tolerable cairo-dock, compiz and firefox that's making up the rest. So I guess the culprit is X.

what driver are you using for your video card?

also, imwheel gave me problems so i uninstalled(crashed, ate cpu and made the wheel in my mouse not to respond), it is only required if you have a specific mouse that uses more features that a usual mouse

i'm really appreciative of your concerns, T6. thanks.

imwheel doesn't do much except i lost the functionality of the wheel which i I am thinking is the moment to replace my pointing device.

i had a similar post previously and the issue fixed itself. i just hope it's has nothing to do with the test kernel i am using.

no, remove imwheel with synaptic

see results after that, i had to do it, after killing and removing it, the wheel went back to normal, i am sure that the cpu runs at those high values when imwheel hangs

hey T6. i'm gonna try it and if that works, even just to get the mouse wheel back, you're gonna be my next best friend
