Hi There,
First of all, thank you soooooo much for the huge improvements in memory usage of ubuntu.
I’m a developer and many times it is happening that I needed to record some client calls and along with that some screen sharing are also going on using mostly google meet.
The applications normally I’m using for my development environment is
Firefox & chrome: with average 5-6 tabs on each.
Sublime: for coding.
Terminal: for some commands.
Docker: as my main devel environment.
Files & meld: File comparison sometimes.
kazam: for screen recording.
Skype: for communication.
Mostly after 2-3 hours of using these tools, my CPU usage gets near / almost / above 100 % on all the 4 virtual cores.
I needed to close some applications every now and then & restart them while I’m in a meeting and my screen is shared. Which I needed to record using kazam.
With the same tools using 18.04, there was a high memory usage issue, where my laptop stops responding/gets frozen when RAM is above 8.5-9.0 GB,… Which in 20.04, I can use 10.0 GB of ram without any issue of getting my laptop frozen, if CPU usage is below 50 %,…
How can I get rid of the high usage of my CPU processes?
With 18.04 - it was high memory usage issue freezing my laptop to respond. Same no of tools and the same amount of using them.
with 20.04 - it is hight CPU usage freezing my laptop. Same no of tools and the same amount of using them.
My laptop’s config is as below
