Karsten Sperling Opdal 1

Using Azure Storage Explorer on Linux Kubuntu 20.04.

I see a CPU usage after using the tool for a while.

Thanks for your question. Is this issue being faced on a single server or multiple servers? Are you only facing this on Kubuntu servers? Is this issue occurring while data transfers are happening or anytime the application is open? Could you provide the output of "top" while you are seeing high CPU utilization.

I'm seeing similar issues. I'm working on arch linux. The CPU usage build up after starting SE and slows down the system. After quit SE, it will be back to normal.

Here is part of the "top" result:

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1840 root 10 -10 24.6g 140108 89548 R 38.2 0.9 9:30.25 Xorg 477756 jj 20 0 36.6g 198068 126316 R 14.0 1.2 1:48.71 StorageExplorer

As you can see, the process with the top cpu usage is Xorg. After quitting SE, the top cpu usage changed:

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1840 root 10 -10 24.6g 140152 89480 S 1.0 0.9 9:54.97 Xorg

Xorg cpu usage was down.

Storage Explorer version: 1.21.2
AzCopy version: 10.12.2
