Bug Description
Binary package hint: gedit
Making changes to a file(typing or deleting characters) makes gedit consume 100% of the CPU power available.
I noticed this since I've installed Ubuntu 9.04.
I was poking in the fonts setting under the appearance preferences and I thought I noticed a slight difference if I turn off all processing and make the font glyph render without subpixel rendering and hinting. However it is merely marginal. To make sure it was not the graphics drivers I switched from the ati drivers to vesa but that did not help at all.
I am running on a 5 years old Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop with Radeon Mobility 7500(details in lspci-vvnn.log provided in link below), with 256MiB of RAM.
