CPU Load

Hi! I just migrated to a fresh Trixie system and got all my "old" widgets running.
I have a huge increase in CPU load when idling, now at 50% overall, where it was under 5% with Bookworm.
To me it seems the browser or whatever module that handles the html-widgets works another way.

Unfortunately this is a big issue, as my sound crackling (HifiBerry ADC+DAC) is directly correlated to CPU load.
I'm running on a RPi 4B.

Any thoughts on this?

Hello,
Are you using any advanced rendering in your widgets, such as canvas?

Please post the output of the wlr-randr command and provide more details about your screen setup. Also, if possible, please share the code for the widgets you are using.

I was using the ODB-gauges widget (from examples) and forgot to setup the credentials in main_configuration.js with the new installation.
This was causing the high load.

I will show myself out... :oops:
