This is something I have in my virtual machine. It is running Arch Linux with gnome-shell. Most of the time you will see CPU > 100%, and I have tried a clean install, no luck. It seems that memory is not a problem, however, CPU usage is. ====================================================================== PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 744 x*** 20 0 1760304 358556 39184 S 135.6 17.5 26:20.37 gnome-shell 354 root 20 0 282188 47952 8972 S 17.3 2.3 3:08.10 Xorg ====================================================================== In my hosting OS, which is also running Arch Linux, I have a little better result. ====================================================================== PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 468 root 20 0 184436 38472 27392 R 29.9 0.2 8:40.70 Xorg 748 x*** 20 0 1925940 378092 50432 S 10.6 2.3 6:47.25 gnome-shell 1887 x*** 20 0 4510972 1.306g 1.243g S 10.6 8.5 40:49.14 VirtualBox ====================================================================== This is the result collected from my Lenovo W520, which has i7-2760QM and 16G of RAM. Even with that, it is still not enough for gnome-shell to work smoothly. I have to restart the gnome-shell using C-F2 -> r sometime to reset the gnome-shell, or even do a log out and log in again to make work. But anyway, nothing much I can do. -- Xinyun Zhou -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
