I turned on my computer. As usual, I got the popup telling me that there were software updates to download and install, so I clicked on Install Updates or whatever the Ok button is called.

Several minutes, maybe even an hour later, I noticed the cooling fan was spinning fast, so I checked by running "top" from a termian and saw that the process consuming most CPU was update-manager. I didn't even bother checking whether it was actually finished, I assumed it obviously wasn't.

Hours later again, CPU consumption was still or again high, so I ran top again, and saw again it was the update-manager process consuming more than 20% CPU.

This time I was surprised that it still wasn't finished, so I gave focus to its window, and found out that it was just the popup saying that the update process was complete. I closed it by clicking on "Ok" and CPU consumption immediately went down to zero.

So, long after (who knows how long after) it was finished updating the software, the Update Manager was consuming constantly more than 20% CPU only to keep a popup open that said it was done. This is ridiculous and pathetic.
