Hi! I have a some problem with my hardware. My CPU use practically 100% when I run some application. Why? When it work, he pick out too much noice and warmth so i think to cover my CPU humid rags already;)
Run “top” in a console to see what’s doing it. Also, disable beagle if you haven’t already,as it can be a resource hog
Andy
Do you know what kind of CPU you have? AMD 64x2, Pentium II, etc?
ok, that`s listing of “top”

I think Network manager is eating the CPU usage here:

AS mmarif4u says Networkmanagler is eating the CPU.
Is this a desktop with ethernet or wireless?
Is it a laptop with ethernet or wireless?
The reason I am asking is if you are using wires and not wireless and do not
do any roaming as such then get rid of Network manager and configure it in
YaST with ifup to either static or DHCP, this way NM does not run which is
one less application to worry about.
I uninstall all things NM on my static machines.

ooh! its real work! ;) I config my network on desktop with ifup and it work good (CPU, Internet and other). But why NetworkManager began use so much resource? It work normaly two months ago, two weeks ago, two days ago and... bang! Its broken. Why do u think?

Could be down to a few things, I am suffering at the moment with KDE, after
a while it starts eating the CPU gradually building up till it is
unresponsive.
I know it is plasma but cannot get to the root of it, this is with no apps,
widgets or anything else running just a plain empty desktop and no-one
touching the machine this all started after the weekend.
If I start in KDE and then leave it all alone it will eventually crash, now
I wonder if you might have been seeing something similar, however I have not
got NM installed at all here.
