Bug Description

Binary package hint: banshee

I just installed Banshee so I had to do a full indexing of my collection. The process lasted for about 6 minutes and something, during which CPU stayed mostly above 100%, and it went as high as (approximately) 156%. CPU temperature went as high as 70.9C, which is not within safe operation bounds for my CPU (a Pentium D 2.80 GHz processor).

I don't have the Mirage plugin installed, and I have the "Disable features requiring Internet access" preference ticked, so it didn't download cover art for albums (from previous experience, downloading cover art drives CPU usage, and core temperature, even higher).

My collection is composed of 6425 files.

I attach a screen log of the banshee run while indexing, although it doesn't seem to show any interesting information. Please let me know if you need any other information.

Regarding this issue, even if Banshee uses 100% of your CPU, the maximum
temperature should be within safe operating limits of your CPU, or you
need a better cooling system. If the CPU usage is reported to be more
than 100%, it's merely a calculation error. You can't use what you don't
have.
