On a 2011 Macbook Pro I don't get either the anaconda or Firefox induced gnome-shell pegging behavior. It uses at most 7% CPU on that system, which has both MD Radeon HD 6750M and Intel HD Graphics 3000. I'm not sure which one is being used. So on the originally reported hardware with NVIDIA card, this excessive CPU usage with gnome-shell is not reproducible with Fedora 18 live media. It appears to be a new problem. Combined with the 60%-80% CPU consumption of yumbackend.py on first boot after installation of F19 for about 30 minutes while it downloads updates without my permission, the resulting sluggish behavior of the system isn't exactly the most positive initial experience. Is there a more definitive way to tell if gnome-shell is or isn't offloading onto the GPU?
