5 Python uses way too much CPU - ID: 2414360
Last Update: Comment added ( stedevil )

I wanted to try out YoFrankie and startet it with

$ 0launch http://crystalspace3d.org/downloads/YoFrankie/YoFrankie.xml

After confirming the GPG keys I hit run and the download started. 3
parallel python processes for downloading caused massive CPU load.

Why does it need so much CPU power to download something? Please do
something about that. Thanks.

System:
Ubuntu 8.10
Thinkpad T42p 1.8Ghz 2Gb Ram

Tried it also on Ubuntu 8.10 (where the problem was exactly the same as
reported by bug starter, massive CPU use during the download itself, which
in turn caused a massive slowdown in transfer).

Again, installing the 9.04 Jaunty package for 0install 0.37 fixed it for
me.

Ok, installing the 0.37 Ubuntu 9.04 package on Ubuntu 8.04 fixes this issue
for me.

Im using Ubuntu 8.04 and 0install 0.33 (latest in official repository for
8.04).

Meanwile as further info, I'm not sure it's python hogging all the CPU. My
CPU gets maxed out due to "i/o wait" so somehow HD-access related.
And it happens after the download has finished and the game is in
"graphics build mode", shader lightning_default_pvl@@100 60%


Will try again with zeroinstall-injector_0.37 once I get that installed.

What version are you using? 0.36 had a fix for a CPU problem. If it's
earlier than that, try the latest:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/zero-install/zeroinstall-injector_0.37-1_all.deb

or

http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/all/zeroinstall-injector/download
