Hi!
My processor: Intel® Core™ i5-7300HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz. 4 coresProcess Table and System Load tabs:
CPU loading is sorted descending in the screenshot on the Process Table tab.sudo top command shows the same results.
As a result, minimize/maximize window takes 3 seconds, open PNG takes 15 seconds, close heavy application takes 15 seconds, etc…
Why my processor loads so hard?Process Table tab is below than loading of cores of the processor on the System Load tab?
Hi!here you’ll find how to provide good information!inxi -Fazy could be useful in this situation.
Now, I had a similar issue and discovered that one of the cores on my CPU was always busy handling ACPI interrupts.grep . -r /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/ and look for excessive high values. The numbers you see should be 0 or little over 100, if you see something in the order of thousands we maybe found your problem and I’ll tell you how to solve it!
Looks like KDE to me. By recently you mean from the iso 20.2-201203?
Could be related to this:
That doesnt cover everything though …
If you have been bitten by the bugged installer profile
(that erroneously included user-manager which then fell back on user-manager-git which then pulled in a lot of kde-dev packages instead of the regular ones)
Then you probably need to get them all …
That list should probably include:
attica-git karchive-git kauth-git kbookmarks-git kcodecs-git kcompletion-git kconfig-git kconfigwidgets-git kcoreaddons-git kcrash-git kdbusaddons-git kglobalaccel-git …

So, there are no big values. That’s not my problem.

By recently I mean ISO from 20-1-200911. I downloaded ISO a long time ago, but installed Manjaro about a week ago. So, what I have to do? Update Manjaro to the latest version?

The problem isn’t solved. Sometimes I can’t even open Manjaro menu, it takes more than 10 seconds, CPU loading at this moment on 2 and 4 CPU core near 100%.
Hello @opt
I would assume that your problem is related to the kernel and therefore . Since Kernel 5.9 is EOL already, upgrade to 5.10 or use an LTS Kernel like 5.4: https://www.kernel.org/
Maybe also the Graphic Acceleration of the KDE Desktop can cause this. Disable all Effects there to see if this is the problem. Since (as i think) it could compute the graphic effects on the cpu instead on the gpu.
PS: I changed the category, since it is KDE related.
Run htop in konsole. Press f6(sort by), choose percent_cpu in the left hand column with the up/down arrows. htop should re-sort with the programs that are putting the biggest load on the cpu at the top. Watch for a few seconds/minutes to see which programs are loading you down. It should give you a starting point.
