High CPU (ß 5757)
Reported by Giovanni Lanzani | 2021-03-30 07:41:51 UTC
Hi,
I saw some past issues about this, but they were pretty old.
Very often — also when idling by looking at Mailmate Activity pane — I see very high CPU usage on Mailmate.
On the latest 16" Pro, I see something like 70%.
My mailboxes are not very large (100k messages), and I don't have smart folders/rules besides the standard ones I believe.
How can I help you diagnose this?

To maybe add some extra bit of info: Window Server also seems to spike together with MM

You can help me by generating samples. When CPU is high, run the following Terminal command:
sample MailMate 10 > ~/mailmate_sample.txtThen send me the file(s) using “Help > Send Feedback” and reference this ticket.

Since the latest beta, I cannot reproduce this behavior anymore. We can close it maybe?

Thanks for letting me know. I'm a bit unsure if I actually did anything which could explain why this no longer happens. Let me know if the issue returns.
(Sorry about the spammer adding to the ticket.)

Hi. I'm seeing the same issue with CPU usage now. Occasionally MailMate would start using 60-70% when seemingly idle (at least nothing is happening in the UI – I even switched to an empty account to remove any rendering woes). If I restart MailMate at this point, the issue goes away and MailMate backs down to <10% CPU.
I captured a sample as advised above - here it is attached to this message.

Hi. I have the same problem, with Mailmate using about 60% CPU and the WindowServer another 80% on a recent MacBook Pro. I also generated the samples file. However, it seems I cannot upload, because the quota has been reached.

Please try again with the latest test release: Hold down the option key when clicking “Check Now” in the Software Update preferences pane.
(There's unfortunately almost never enough quota in the ticket system. Use “Help > Send Feedback” to send me files via MailMate.)

Hi. I'm still seeing the same issue with the latest build 5875. I sent a fresh sample via email feedback from Mailmate.
Cheers

Hi.
I still occasionally had this issue with 5852. I have sent you an email with the sample as advised. I also installed the latest test build 5878 to see if the issue is still there.
Cheers, Tom.

The theory is that this only happens on Big Sur (for some users). I have no reports on Monterey.
(I would be interested in knowing if anyone has this issue on Monterey with the latest test release.)

I'll close this ticket, but I'm still interested if anyone has more details to add about when this might or might not happen.

as a data point – I upgraded to Monterey about a week ago, and haven't noticed any CPU abuse since the upgrade
