  • [gentoo-user] Excessive GPU Process load

    From Peter Humphrey@21:1/5 to All on Thu Aug 8 13:10:01 2024
    Greetings,

    I'm sitting here, waiting for Firefox to finish its processing of a Facebook page. It's been going for over a minute so far, so I doubt it'll ever finish. Top shows 'GPU Process' using two to three cores. CTRL-K shows this as the command line:

    /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox -contentproc -parentBuildID 20240712130749 -prefsLen 27268 -prefMapSize 237756 -appDir /usr/lib64/firefox/browser {e5a7e91a- be0b-4a22-a41a-ca47a80d780d} 4605 gpu

    What can I learn from this?

    I've tried 'itting it wiv a big, 'ard, 'eavy 'ammer by rebooting, but it
    hasn't helped.

    Have you trying enabling hardware acceleration? Set USE="hwaccel", or go into about:config and flip "gfx.canvas.accelerated.force-enabled".

    I already had hwaccel set, so I toggled that setting in FF. Looks promising so far.

    Thanks once more, Michael.
