Serious performance issues on Ubuntu 6.10
DarkHorizon:
Hopefully it's not too late to address this.
My specs:
Kubuntu 6.10 Edgy (dual booted with WinXP SP2)
AMD Sempron 2300+ (1500mhz)
512mb PC133 RAM
NVidia Geforce 5200
Absolutely no problems with scrolling in WinXP, however in Edgy scrolling is a nightmare. I figured maybe it was due to KDE's handling of GTK apps, but I haven't tested C::B in Gnome to substantiate this idea.

What desktop environment you are running makes no difference at all because KDE in no way 'handles' GTK apps. Both GTK and QT talk directly to the X server. I would suggest running something like sysprof or oprofile and try and figure out what is taking most of the CPU time. Then post the results.

Maybe I have an solution for you. I had similar problems mentioned above; even moving the mouse over the C::B window brought increasing CPU usage.
My System is:
Ubuntu 6.10
wxWidgets 2.6.3 (manual Installation)
Code::Blocks 3455 (had also some older versions before; all plugins can be enabled)
The problem seemed to occure after configuring wxWidgets with --enable-debug-Flag. When starting and working within C::B the console showed many warnings and the CPU usage increased heavily.
After configuring wxWidgets without --enable-debug-Flag and C::B with disable-debug-Flag, C::B worked perfectly, except for the annoying copy-n'-paste-bug - C::B crashes often when pasting something. There are some threads according the copy-n'-paste-bug.

I have no those problems under SUSE 10.2 64 bit. I install somehow 32 bit version and everything works fine. I have a suggestion, that problem is in video card configuration. I have notebook with nvidia on it. Before drivers installation all graphical stuff took to much of the CPU resources. Pls take a look on to you video card configuration.

My Hardware:
Nvidia FX5200 128 MB video memory.
P4 2.3 Ghz, 1GB RAM DDR.
Kubuntu Edgy 6.10 upgraded from 6.04
I am using the nvidia kernel module and nvidia xorg driver.
I guess it's correctly installed, all my GL screensavers run smoothly.
My active xorg extensions are: (copy paste from /etc/X11/xorg.conf)

Anything wrong here?
I have the 100% CPU usage problem, the typing speed and keyboard scrolling are noticeably slow. Scite, a scintilla-based text editor, is a lightning by comparation...
