Subject: bug#22305: 24.5; permanent 100% CPU load for no apparent reason
Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2016 10:48:02 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <41538.98876.177125.22154@gargle.gargle.HOWL> (raw)
Lately emacs gives me some strange problem, where according to `top'
the CPU load due to the emacs process goes up to a permanent value
of 100% (and I notice this because the laptop fan starts spinning
loudly), whereas according to `ps' the emacs process continues to
give rise to only a marginal CPU load. While this happens, emacs
responds normally, so it appears that emacs is not trying to do
anything unusual in the background.
I did not have this problem while I was using emacs 24.5 under
ubuntu 14.04. It only appeared lately when I upgraded to a new
laptop running ubuntu 15.10. I am not aware of any significant
change in my emacs configuration since I made this switch.
What can I do to pin this down further? So far, I have not noticed
anything that triggers this behavior reproducibly and my workaround
has been to restart emacs. But that's not nice for a recurring
problem (about once per day).
