Liferea keeps waking up the cpu a lot. Someone created a patch to fix this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fedora/+source/liferea/+bug/114356 This behavior can be seen by running PowerTOP. On my machine liferea causes the highest number of cpu wakeups. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run liferea 2. Run powertop Actual Results: See liferea at the top of the list for highest number of cpu wakeups. Expected Results: Liferea has much fewer cpu wakeups.
This specific patch should have been included upstream in 1.2.15, and improved further in 1.2.16 (that will hit the tree soon I suppose). Version 1.2.16 (Stable) * Major code reorganisation to minimize the number of gettimeofday() calls which caused a lot of CPU activity and wakeups on laptops. Version 1.2.15 (Stable) * Better update result processing timer, should cause less CPU usage. (patch from Arjan van de Ven)
1.2.16 is in the tree.
