 Posted: Fri Aug 25, 2017 7:44 pm Post subject: Firefox using 20% of CPU |
 |
|
| After I switched my kernel from 3.9.34-gentoo to 3.14.5-gentoo, firefox is using 20 to 25 % of CPU whereas before it was only using 6%. ( when I am watching youtube video with 1080) I didn't change anything. Is simply copied .config from 3.9.34 dir to 3.14.5 dir and did make && make modules_install, mkconfig -o and selected the new kernel. I verified uname -a that I am running 3.14.5. What in the world is going on here? |

| You can't just copy .config to a different kernel version. You should at least run "make oldconfig" and answer all questions. After that you should run "make menuconfig" and make sure that everything is OK. |

txykumat,
You have an illegal kernel .config. Anything can happen,
It gives you all sorts of strange behaviour that is very difficult to diagnose.

| Oh no, I meant 4.9.34 and 4.12.5-gentoo kernel. I recompiled kernel though the result is the same. I wonder what changed... |

Check numer of cores u see, i remeber on my core2duo 4.10 kernel reported 4 cores  and cpu was over 60% on idle, so i ditched it ( I switched to ryzen a bit later so no idea what happened there)

Which is correct if CPU supports hyperthreading |

How do I check what my MAKEOP supposed to be? I thought it was
But won't work. My CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz and
| Code: | | $ cat /proc/cpuinfo |
shows CPU 0, 1, 2, 3.
For now I am back to older kernel so my laptop won't hiss just watching youtube videos. |
