High CPU usage

Open zanodor opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Even when most functionality is turned off (except for the Flow toolbar), CPU usage is high (65-75 %). Disabling the plugin makes consumption normal again (6-7%). Some processes must still be working in the background even with most everything turned off.

Tested on Linux Ubuntu 20.04 with Obsidian 1.4.5.

Are you sure its coming from make.md? Try with out any other plugins , only make.md Cant test it on linux but on windows 0% usage

FWIW, my observations:

  • MacBook Air 2015 (i5-4260U CPU)
  • Manjaro Linux (Arch Linux) with SwayWM
  • Obsidian 1.4.13 with Make.md as the only plugin
  • A tiny vault

Without Make, CPU load is around 2% With Make, CPU load rises to 5%

5% absolute CPU usage is far from being a massive load, but the increase is much more than 100%. When Make is enabled, I see an Electron renderer process running on about 2% CPU.

I'd suggest to

  • test if the load depends on vault size
  • test if another plugin makes Make go high on CPU

Thanks for confirming, Chris.

The vault is close to 20k with images counted.
Using/testing the plugin typing-assistant's floating toolbar for now.

I maybe have the same problem. One CPU core always uses at least 100%, when I disable make.md then obsidian uses 5%.

Tested on Linux Debian 12 with Obsidian 1.5.3
