[gentoo-user] Excessive GPU Process load

[gentoo-user] Excessive GPU Process load

[Peter Humphrey]

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.

Regards,
Peter.

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.
