Processor goes full on 100%
Submitted by George Dunham on Monday, 4 June, 2007 - 20:01
Hi All

I am a noob with jEdit and quite impressed with it. I have it installed in both Fiesty Fawn and M$ XP.

All seemed well at first then while working out an issue with a user on Pidgin the CPU locked up & I noticed the fan going full. Power KILL was the only way left available to recover control.

I've since paid more attention and it seems I get between 30 & 10 minutes operation of jEdit before I notice the fan and task manager reporting 100% CPU usage. Memory usage seems to remain at normal levels.

Terminating jEdit restored CPU usage to normal levels immediately & I can reload with out issues. Doing this several times today I began to be aware the runtimes were getting shorter. Finally it got down to under 10 minutes.

At this point I re-installed this time ensuring all the install options were included (Complete Install). I also selected to install the launcher that starts at boot.

In approximately 12 minutes I noticed the CPU at 100% and the fan running. I saved my work and exited the program. This time the CPU usage remained at 100%. I then killed the jEdit (sp) process. CPU usage returned to normal levels and I built the config data block I'll include near the end of this post. ~30 minutes with no CPU issues.

Are others seeing this behavior?

I also see this behavior, and JavaScript is part of the buffers I'm editing when it kicks in. I first saw it in pre9, but pre10 doesn't fix it.

Hi all
    I've found that javascript files seem to set this behavior off and that txt, html, or php files perform as expected.

My CPU now runs cool and the heap rarely exceeds 63k.
