Electron CPU usage

Mykle1

I don’t know what to make of this haha

It can be frustrating. Hang in there. We’ll try to get you sorted or at least find out what the issue is so it can be corrected.

Now, let me look at your nmon

Edit: Ouch! :-(

@Mykle1 Thank you! :) You can actually get all three on the same “screen”. :) But what matters is that your CPU is hovering around 5% and mine (ours) are hovering around 20%x2… That is strange.

@wtidwell Are you rinnung a “lite” version or a full version of the OS?

@Snille
I’m running a full version. I intend on reinstalling Raspian lite when I have some free time if I can’t troubleshoot it until then.

When I was installing electron, I tried to install it globally with the -g command like it suggested in the electron readme. However it said I didn’t have permission and I tried to repeat it with sudo and it still said the same thing. Not sure if that means anything significant. I did get it to install non globally with no errors but I dunno if that may be my problem.

Snille

@wtidwell Nah, I’m running the “lite” version of Jessie… So it’s not that… I did not do a separate install of electron actually. I used the “install-script” from MM at the beginning… It’s goning to be interesting to see if you get any better results with another SD card…

@Snille
Speaking of hardware, and this may be a dumb question, but any chance the mouse and keyboard are causing this performance hitch? I just plugged in the ones on my desk which are the corsair strafe and logitech g600, both more intricate than normal pnp mouse and keyboard…

Snille

@wtidwell Nope, I don’t think so. I have not had any keyboard nor mouse connected since I installed it. :)

I followed your directions but only one appeared at a time. I’ll try again later if you want me to. Getting ready for work at the moment.

@Mykle1 Don’t worry about it. You provided the information. :) But if you want to do it anyway, do it via SSH instead, you need to have more “screen-space” to fit all the information at the same time. Check my screenshot. The number of columns and rows are much higher. :)

A quick google search reveals that the Pi is mainly manufactured in Wales, UK. However, they are also being made in China, and now Japan. I can’t help but wonder if there is some small difference that would affect performance on those made in the UK and those made elsewhere

@Mykle1 Lets see…
Do (in SSH): cat /proc/cpuinfo

Paste the result from hardware and revision… :)

Hardware        : BCM2835
Revision        : a02082

I think it’s the “last” revision that is important.

Pi 3 Model B	1GB	a02082 (Sony, UK)
Pi 3 Model B	1GB	a22082 (Embest, China)

More info about revisions…

Mine is from UK it seams. :)
