SystemUIServer playing with my PowerMac G5's CPUs!
i noticed fans on powermac g5 running little more usual while computer pretty idle/has few applications open. noticed graphs of cpu usage in istat go , down spikes on of stegosaurus. have pictured here, , it's more defined... wondering why heck "systemuiserver" keeps going in , out of using 7+% of cpu , 2% of cpu. there other thing seeing called "windowserver", , has been spiking around well. computer's cpus barely have activity @ moderate/idle stat, has changed. know why? not running 3rd party dashboard widgets, , foreign thing on toolbar istat menus, haven't had issues before. ideas? thanks!
p.s. come think of it, "windowserver" beginning largest culprit here, next "systemuiserver"!
attached files:
istat menus 2 has memory leak. periodically want kill systemuiserver process because of this.
open terminal , type:
killall systemuiserver
menubar close restart. cpu return normal.
can minimize future problems not using clock in istat menus.
