Sanity check: Vivaldi high CPU usage (feddit.uk)

submitted 6 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

5 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Before I dive headlong into debugging and throwing bug tickets around, I just needed a sanity check from someone else..

I have an old Lenovo laptop as my daily driver / experimentation box (ie it gets a lot of paclages installed and removed)

Recently I've been using Vivaldi's built-in calendar to use as a CalDAV client for my radicale installation.

It's the only open tab and Vivaldi's using ~20% CPU (according to htop)... actually, I just closed that tab... even with 1 blank tab the CPU's the same.

Is this just my battle weary laptop needing a good clean, or can someone else confirm?

TIA

Try how much memory usage you get on Firefox.

RAM for Firefox? ~3.5GB... But, I'm asking about CPU usage with Vivaldi, so ... not quite sure why you're asking :)

I was trying to see if its a Vivaldi problem or an old CPU problem.
