Growl 1.3.3 - 125% CPU usage while idle

[Jorge Herskovic]

I run Growl 1.3.3 on a Mac Pro with Lion (10.7.3). Several times a day, my CPU usage goes up to 110-125% and stays there until I restart Growl. It works normally other than that.

The Growl-enabled applications I use regularly are:

• Sparrow
• Adium (1.5rc3)
• Transmit
• Twitteriffic
• Dropbox

Thanks for the great work, but this is driving me crazy. I attached a sample of growl while running abnormally.

What style do you use for the notifications?

Can you provide a link to the sample you can take via activity monitor so they can see if it is the same as mine?

Take care.

I have this problem too and it is unquestionably related to skype notifications (for me). If I disable skype notifications to Growl, it runs fine indefinitely AFAICT. If I enable them, it's munching my cpu within a few hours. This is the same whether logging is enabled for skype or not. I'm using Smoke for most things, but Nano for Skype. Growl is 1.3.3. Skype is 5.4.0.1217. Sample attached.

Hopefully this will help track this down (although I suppose it's all going to be a bit moot in a few months when Mountain Lion comes out anyway...hey ho)

Hi,

Well, so far this appears to have improved things - I'm now on the latest version of Skype and I haven't seen any more crazy CPU usage for a day or two. Fingers crossed!

Thanks,

Lucian

I'm having the same symptoms, on both an iMac and a Mini, and I'm hanged if I can see what's causing it. I don't have Skype, for instance.

I've sampled Growl and attached the results here. There's one Growl-enabed program (Dropbox) that I run; it's the only one I have that's kicking up any Growl notifications at all, right now.

I'm using AboveTheNight for the display style. This is Growl 1.3.3.
