Very high system CPU use, but not bad in Task Manager
-
I've looked through various posts about high CPU usage, but I don't see anything helpful to my situation.
I'm running Vivaldi 4.3.2439.44 (Stable) on Debian, with no special flags, at least not intentionally. My system has a reasonably powerful CPU (6-core, 12-thread), and 32GB of memory. I do have a large number of tabs open.
Running Vivaldi takes up an enormous amount of the computer's CPU, even when I hibernate most tabs. On an otherwise unloaded machine, I have a load average consistently over 6, with no Vivaldi tabs doing anything obviously intensive; when I quit Vivaldi it drops to below 1. Running htop shows that there are (in this example) 9 Vivaldi processes running near 100% CPU (the top one is near 200%); the next most intensive processes (such as Opera) are in the (low) single digits:
Task Manager (sorted by CPU) doesn't seem to show anything particularly aggressive in use:
Can someone explain what is going on, and what I can do to fix this? I very much like Vivaldi and badly want to keep using it, but this isn't like some weird benchmark that's 3% slower than Firefox, this is a massive problem that affects my entire machine.

Do you leave the browser open when trying to update it? Some Debian/D-based users have reported a core staying at 100% usage when doing that. There is a number of such related threads.

Yup, that did it! Thanks for the quick reply.

@jester123 @npro I never ran into such issue as my browser is always closed after Linux login.
