Electron CPU usage

Thanks. Yes, v1.4.15.

I just had a thought (miracle). What version of MM is everyone using?

My Pi3 B mirror is running MM version 2.1.0. I’ve had no reason to update it. It’s rock solid

I had this problems since the new MM2 Version. Very long so. But my version is the newest one. 2.1.2 I think.

uh oh! So you DIDN’T have this problem before the new version?

Hi.

I made a downgrade Electron from v1.7.15 to v1.4.15.
CPU load up to 320% is gone.

Hardware: BCM2835
Revision: a22082
MagicMirror: 2.1.2

I also downgraded electron to 1.4.15 and I’m seeing dramatically improved performance!

Do you have some CPU load Screenshots? As I read, around 55% is to high too.

Not on hand but I’m seeing in the mid 20’s with newsfeed animations

Well, that’s good news! :^)

You guys are both running MM 2.1.2? There has been some mention that this problem arose after the upgrade. My Pi3 B mirror is still running MM 2.1.0. :-/

Just a thought.

Today, I tried the following:

MM 2.1.2 + Electron 1.7.5 --> CPU 100% during transitions

MM 2.1.2 + Electron 1.4.15 --> problem still there, CPU 100% during transitions

MM 2.1.0 + Electron 1.7.5 --> problem still there, CPU 100% during transitions

MM 2.1.0 + Electron 1.4.15 --> problem (probably) gone, CPU 40% during transitions

So i guess you have to downgrade both, MM and electron…!?

I’m curious. What is the CPU load at rest, when no transitions are executing?

In any case, that’s a good amount of testing on your part, and hopefully it will lead to a final diagnosis of the problem.
