I have recently noticed that, when copying stuff from my desktop
to a different system over the NFS, CPU usage in that system skyrockets
while that copying job is taking place (load shooting up to 10 - the
system being a four-core box) with the gvfsd-trash process being at the
top.
I understand why NFS should use a significant amount of CPU
resources (although it seems to be too much - but that is a different
issue) but - what about gvfsd-trash? According to what I read, it is to
do with managing stuff in the Trash bin for some desktop environments.
Now in the system where gvfsd-trash is shooting up, there is only one
desktop environment running, and its Trash bin is empty and unused.
Why would gvfsd-trash start using so much in the way of CPU
resources in this scenario? Since I do not use the Trash bin in the
desktop at all (I am and old-fashioned, CLI person) can I just disable
gvfsd-trash? Or even get rid of it completely?
