Hi, sorry i am a little bit confused now.
If you scroll to the top of this page you can read the original bug description from Jonathan M. in 2007.

He wrote: "Gnome System monitor sometimes claims to be using all of the spare capacity of my CPU, I cannot pinpoint when it happens, but it does happen. I pressed the report bug button while it was using 86% of my CPU according to itself, but now a few minutes later, it has settled on 11%."

This is exactly the same problem which I have on my ThinkPad nearly four years later.

G-s-m might not be very efficient (using 15-20%) but this is not a bug "just" permanent inefficiency.

I posted my problem here because I discovered that top also shows this behaviour sometimes and maybe this is a hint for somebody who is working on this problem or g-s-m in general.

I'm new here, so do not hesitate to tell me if I do not understand why I should now create a new bug report.
