Comment 94 for bug 93847

I am having simalar problem in 10.10 32 bit superOS (super ubuntu)
intel DP43BF board
Nvidia quadro FX550 using proprietary driver version 260.19.06
Q8300 quad core2

cpu monitor widget and panel app show idle load at normal 5% or so, as soon as I open Sys monitor, cpu load jumps up to 32-38%, showing usage on all 4 cores. all 4 cores. tried increasing refresh rates and other options, no difference.
System monitor also hangs and will not close sometimes, have to use xkill, sometimes a couple times on it to get it to close.

Seemed like it wasnt this bad untill i installed the latest updates, and i thought one was related to the GSM or something to do with gnome
