Hi Dan, I'm running the same setup (MX 19.2/TDE 14.0.9) and while I have 38 kworker/event_xyz processes runing, all but one are at 0.0 %CPU. That one is at 0.3 %CPU. A different one has 12s TIME. My uptime is 6 days with ~420 total processes and I have only been in TDE. So, yeah, 30% CPU seems really odd. Assuming you're not on a Pentium II or something ;) One of the dev's will have to answer further (as I don't myself know what kworkers truly do other than ‘system stuff’). Hope the data point helps, Michael ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
