What is the process that causes the trouble? After the latest update I |
| 28 |
also found my KDE to be under high cpu load. The offending process was |
| 29 |
kwin. After some googling I found that switching off Vsync could help |
| 30 |
me. This option is in System Setting -> Desktop -> Advanced Options. |
| 31 |
That helped in my case. |
| 32 |
Hope, that can help. |
