Is anyone else sick and tired of plasmashell pegging their systems? I swear, I though this was fixed in F23, but it's back in early F24. I love KDE and prefer it over the abortion that is GNOME, but this is just getting stupid. I can't run Chrome, Slack and Thunderbird at the same time without crippling my quad core 3GHZ 12GB RAM laptop.
It's a joke.

Are you saying your plasmashell process is using 100% or more of %CPU in top?

I really hope you're joking. But, if not, top shows plasmashell hitting 80-90% of my entire system CPU (on a quad core) without fail even after a reboot or shutdown/power up. This was a problem early in F23 and finally was resolved. Now it's back and NOT better than ever on the exact same system. I find it ridiculous that this one process is so jacked up after all the updates it's had in the last 3 years. I love Fedora. I've been using it and RH since the mid 90s. I detest GNOME with a passion so I have no desire to use the Workstation version. (And one of the reasons I don't use Ubuntu.)
Yes, I know there's MATE and Cinnamon, ad nauseam and I like them, but they don't have the features KDE has. But I'm tempted to just scrap the entire thing if they can't get their crap together with this.

Maybe he asked the question in that way as he, like myself, isn't seeing any problems with plasamashell taking excessive cpu time. So, I'm not "sick and tired" of anything in that regards.
At the moment I don't know what the plan would be to track down what you're seeing on your system.

A process can use more than 100% in top if it is not obund to a single CPU.
Only thing I can suggest is to make sure you don't have multiple panels stacked up on each other on your desktop. I have seen that cause plasmashell to use over 100% CPU on my machine before.

This reply makes me wonder if you actually read my previous post. As I said in that post, plasmashell is taking up 80-90% of FOUR CORES.
You know, never mind. It's pointless to discuss this here. I apologize for even posting.

I did find this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348385 but it is now closed. I'm assuming you have all the latest updates? If you are still experiencing the issue you probably should open a bug.

even then 3.5% average and often over 25% i see here is a terrible bad joke given that most of our production servers together consume less CPU most of the day
it's at least unacceptable on machines with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz or Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz CPU's when a inbound mailserver rejecting 250 messages per minute while pass them thorugh milters and clamd is around 120 MHz or below

Good question, but speculating (without debugging, evidence, or experience) is not constructive.
An educated guess is often that not all video drivers support being fully hw accelerated (and fallback to software rendering... which incurs a higher cpu cost). One such too-often trouble-maker is nouveau, unfortunately.

well, i posted the CPU - Intel Sandy Bridge / IvyBridge with 3.40 Ghz and Intel graphics - what is there to render all time long for 2 folder-views, systemload-widget, network-traffic-widget und disk-io-widget plus the control bar when having konsole maximized with htop and plasmashell is most of the time on top?
sorry but that cpu usage for "just being" here was not so long a go a complete PC running operating system and applications and these days we have a desktop doing practically nothing then beeing here
in fact se 5-10 watts more power consumation between logged out and only sddm running and a kde session is a lot when e are talk about a machine running 3 virtual machines and a ton of network servics in the backgriound including the cable modem, a usb-hub and a sip-phone consumes 48-55 watts in total
