OpenSuse 13.1 gnome extremely high CPU usage

My CPU fan is constantly spinning at max with this OS. In system monitor I have nautilus constantly taking between 20-50% CPU and bjiben-shell-search-provider taking between 20-50% CPU as well.
This is not normal! The OS remains unusable as long as this isn’t fixed.

Hi
So, my install doesn’t have this issue… which for me is normal…
(not very helpful is it?) :wink:

OK, can you provide a bit more detail on you hardware? CPU, GPU, RAM
etc?

This is a stock 13.1 install and updated, no changing themes etc?

If you don’t use the system monitor, open a terminal and use top, still
see this effect?

Hi
And your running the standard kernel as well? There have been reports
of issues with 3.12rc4.

Are you running Nautilus as the ‘Desktop’ to get the icons showing etc?

“Icons on desktop” is off in gnome-tweak-tool

Hi
There are a few updates in the GNOME stack today, can you update and
see if the issue persists?
