This seems highly unusual that the clock applet needs so much CPU. ``` top - 23:46:14 up 5 days, 12:41, 1 user, load average: 0.85, 1.05, 1.11 Tasks: 582 total, 1 running, 581 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 2.3 us, 0.7 sy, 0.0 ni, 96.7 id, 0.1 wa, 0.2 hi, 0.1 si, 0.0 st MiB Mem : 64234.6 total, 11737.1 free, 10633.3 used, 41864.2 buff/cache MiB Swap: 16384.0 total, 16013.1 free, 370.9 used. 52544.8 avail Mem PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 3921555 oznt 20 0 3307376 229800 43456 S 20.1 0.3 321:18.25 clock-applet 131922 root 20 0 1211016 307108 26656 S 10.2 0.5 54:18.97 buildkitd 5538 root 20 0 1351620 513268 30076 S 6.9 0.8 477:35.38 kube-apiserver 5567 root 20 0 10.8g 77384 18468 S 4.0 0.1 239:13.02 etcd 3933524 oznt 20 0 20.3g 807036 282204 S 4.0 1.2 220:01.65 firefox-bin 4148154 oznt 20 0 1129.5g 373348 144324 S 3.6 0.6 57:30.49 signal-desktop 890536 oznt 20 0 26.5g 203876 104768 S 3.3 0.3 0:08.10 Isolated Web Co 5049 root 20 0 4464868 79656 27428 S 3.0 0.1 277:46.95 kubelet ``` Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a few cities to the clock applet 2. watch CPU usage 3. Expected Results: Applet does not consume so much CPU It seems like the applet is trying to connect to some service?
Try strace -p 3921555 and see what it's doing?

I've tried this with both mate-base/mate-panel-1.26.4 and 1.27.2 by adding 5 locations then leaving it to run for 2 hours. During this time clock-applet has remaining at 0% so the commits that hint at being related to this seemed to have solved it. Please feel free to reopen if required.
