Bug Description
I had left Openshot open overnight so I could continue my editing in the morning, and in the morning I found the machine very sluggish; on investigation, Openshot shows up in the top display as 150+% CPU!!
but it is doing nothing. It is just sitting there with a paused frame. The top list shows
PID user PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %mem TIME+ command
24831 garym 20 0 3644264 646068 16620 R 143.7 16.0 980:32.63 openshot
total system memory is 4G with 200M free but 1.8G of swap used. When I close Openshot, memory use does not change appreciably, but the load drops quite quickly.
What would Openshot be doing in an idle state that should drive such high CPU use?
MLT is not done for working with multi-core but Libopenshot have been designed for that. That was working so great that it has been limited for some issues with some configurations.
