It seems to be that these slowdowns ONLY happen if I move a chrome window to another desktop.
#Chrome version 41 for mac os driver
I'm currently testing using this open source graphics driver and so far so good, will test for a week and leave an answer if this is the case.ĮDIT: I feel like I'm going insane.
#Chrome version 41 for mac os windows
CPU usage drops to a normal ~10% across the board when using the laptop screen.ĮDIT: I'm noticing that the external monitor bit may be a red herring - more likely, it seems that I get this issue when I have multiple chrome windows with different accounts - chrome windows on the same account don't seem to cause issues.ĮDIT: I'm now of the opinion that all prior bits in this post about chrome, other tabs, etc are red herrings, and that the real issue is a fairly well documented issue with compiz taking buttloads of processor power to render graphics that should be handled by a videocard. OSX doesn't mind being connected to the same external monitor. My question is twofold: If you have observed this before and are already aware of the likely cause and solution, could you enlighten me? OR, if the answer is not obvious to you, could you give me tips in how I can investigate this issue further?ĮDIT: Weirdly, when not connected to an external monitor via a DVI cables, all issues vanish. I am testing with Chrome being the only process I'm running (other than system monitor and terminal). I have kept an eye on System Monitor and noticed no obvious signs of memory leakage, just that Chrome usage causes CPU spikes. Google searches mostly points to old threads about Chrome in general being a RAM hog, however I don't feel those are relevant because I'm running the current version, and on this same machine Chrome functions just fine.
Memory is at 4.7GiB / 7 GiB, with none of my 2GiB of Swap being used. System monitor is showing abnormally high CPU usage, sometimes with all 4 cores at 100% when refreshing a page in Chrome. Everything is much slower than when I'm running OSX on this same machine, doing far more "heavy lifting." I have noticed the system working extremely slowly when Chrome is running with reasonable tabs (5-6). I am exploring a dual-boot of Ubuntu on my Macbook Pro.
