Comment 2 for bug 30570

Hello all,

The update-notifier does seem to make my CPU go even crazier than usual
until I kill it, but that's not the particular bug I'm referring to
here.

Having just killed the notifier after just logging in, I'm now writing
this in gedit with a gnome terminal open showing top and synaptic
downloading new packages. CPU use is permanently above 50% of 2.13GHz.
I've also just switched to the 'radeon' driver, so that's not the
problem and have tried the vesa driver also: Whichever I use out of
radeon/vesa/fglrx doesn't seem to affect the outcome.

Please let me know if there's any more information I can give.

Best wishes,
David
