Version 2.22.3 is still plagued by the bug. In a completely up-to-date Ubuntu 8.04.1.

CPU usage is mostly at 11 % (sometimes it drops for a second to 0 % or 1 %), with peaks as high as 22 %. On my Intel Core 2 Duo machine with 2 GB RAM.... This is crazy.

Memory usage is acceptable though: constant at 8,7 MB. I can live with that. :-)

a new rebuild revision has been uploaded now to some libglib issues

Today I tested the newest version in proposed. The problem seems largely fixed, but not quite.

When I check the system load caused by gnome-system-monitor using the command "top" in the terminal, the CPU load is almost imperceptible. That's good.

But when I check the system load by double-clicking gnome-system-monitor, so that it opens it's own full-size window, I see the crazy values again (confirmed by top). 15 % CPU, with peaks as high as 21 %.

So it appears that as long as you use gnome-system-monitor only as a little meter in the panel, there's no problem with this new version. But do not double-click it, for then the trouble starts.

For most practical puposes the meter is therefore allright now. Upstream should deal with the remaining problem, though.

the package works as expected however there's still issues with the CPU usage which is a known bug. marking this as verification done, thanks.
