(Get the code!)
Hi,
I'm using Firefox and suffered from often occasional lockups of system due to overload of both CPU cores by 2 unity-panel-service processes and hud-service. Especially often this behavior vere triggered when I tried to type a text on any forum (and that as extremely annoying). That happened pretty much often like every hour and sometimes a few times in a row.
I think I found the reason why it happened to me and finally "fixed" it.
Apperently I had ~30 RSS feeds in the bookmars menu + Feed Sidebar addon which caused them to reload every hour (not all at once but all during each hour). So, as result structure of the menu were changed every now and then. And these changes sometimes caused Unity Panel and HUD to overload system!
So, to "fix" this issue I had moved all my RSS feeds and dynamic bookmars into Unsorted Bookmarks section which does not shows up on the menu (it's actually there but only as a link to open a bookmarks manager). Seems like occasional freezes disappeared from that moment.
It's understandable that dynamic changes in the menu could require some resources but I'm pretty much sure that hoggin 100% of 64 bit dual-core CPU during 10-30 seconds is pretty much odd thing to do. At least I don't need these RSS feeds in the bookmarks menu but what will have to do those with RSS feeds on the bookmarks toolbar? Moving such feeds into Unsorted Bookmarks will totally break their workflow.
