Bug Description

Binary package hint: gedit

hi,
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10

gedit version> 2.24.0-0ubuntu1

when opening any file in gedit the cpu usage jumps to nearly 100% and takes a few seconds to start. after the file has opened the CPU usage drops to normal...

how do i prevent this high cpu usage?

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/276094/comments/11 << ur comment

which u initially thought was similar i think u should consider this as a separate bug

i have a 1.66GHz DUO core, which i dont think is a slow CPU...

when i used ubuntu 8.04 the gedit used to open in 4-6 secs... almost instantaneously

now since i'v upgraded to 8.10 it takes 35-40 secs... before the gedit update it was around 30 secs...

so the update[2.24.1-0ubuntu1] has increased the opening time... and worsened my bug

disabling the file browser plugin, was helpful... i have no problems now without the plugin...

this confirms that this is not the same bug... please consider this as a seperate bug and fix the file browser plugin...
