It hit 20,4% max with 6.0 and 12% with 4.4.

Example file

Second example (different user case)

1. Open the attached file based on bug 113067
2. Place the cursor and the end of the latest word on the first page
3. Hold backspace and monitor CPU usage

CPU usage will be 25% with LibO6
Start in LibO5 in two steps:
A bump from 10 -> 18% in LibO5
A bump from 18 -> 25% somewhere in LibO5.1

Sidenote: Doing this with Tracking Changed enabled is a horror

Third example

Another example. 
1. Open the attached file (Third example)(Only 2 pages with Ipsum lorem)
2. Enable spell-check (I used German)
3. Delete the yellow marked Hello World stuff by holding delete or backspace (notice the slowdown & CPU usage)

Comment 11 Jan-Marek Glogowski 2018-08-18 11:11:55 UTC
First: higher CPU usage isn't bad! I expect it and faster processing (less time) after my Scheduler changes, as they removed a sleep from task processing path affecting all tasks. The only real measurement would be instruction count *and* time, eventually even instructions over time, if GUI is involved, which is also hard to analyze.

Second: interactivity / responsiveness is valued higher then speed. MM used to block LO. When I cleaned up the task priorities, interactivity during MM went up a lot, so typing now slows down MM processing visibly. If the platforms are compatible in HW and SW (aka HW acceleration via OpenGL), interactivity differences ("notice the slowdown") might be a valid bug. But generally these are hard to analyze and therefore hard to fix.

BTW: you can test https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/59279/, which fixes a general Writer background job handling bug, which strangely just seem to affect Windows.
Comment 12 Telesto 2018-08-21 10:48:28 UTC
First of this bug report is a bit of a mess (I caused this myself). I collected all the issues bibisected to same commit in one report. However, root causes might differ..

* Issue 1: Bump in CPU usage when deleting a bullet row (comment 0)
Maybe related to bug 119227 and/or bug 119220

* Issue 2: Slow responding complex document while scrolling; especially noticeable using the scroll bar(comment 7) & with lots of comments around. Time spend looks nearly the same between 4.4.7.2 & 6.2
* MacOS: Always smooth under MacOS with any LibO version
* MacOS: Laggy on Windows since the commit 

* Issue 3: Holding Backspace in a 2 page document will slowdown & lots of CPU time spend (comment 9)
-> Windows; No slowdown with 4.4.7.2 & 4% CPU time spend; now slowdown & 25% CPU time spend
-> MacOS: also a slowdown; however a lot of time spend it at anyhow; difference far smaller.

Yes, I agree higher CPU usage isn't bad! I'm probably not to explicit about the issue. I'm not having any issue with high CPU usage general. The cases where I expect (can't know for sure) that CPU time is spend for silly things (based on comparison with previous versions). I should be more specific. 
 
So again, I'm not against faster processing. And i'm not criticizing any of the changes, either. Only noticing that something seems off. Which profiling might reveal, but I don't know how to do that properly/consistently. Especially when using interaction is needed

Everything is still reproducible with:

You could try this UIforETW thing (if running latest Win 10): https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2015/09/01/xperf-basics-recording-a-trace-the-ultimate-easy-way/

(In reply to Telesto from comment #7)
> Another example bibisected to the same commit range:
> 1. Open attachment 137973 [details] (bug 106208)
> 2. Scroll down with scroll wheel (sluggish at some parts and 100% CPU usage
> for a single core)

Unwinding: Created a separate report (bug 120102) . More a formality to keep track of the different variants; i'm losing the oversight :-)

Still the same (or even a bit more sluggish compared to the stock 6.0.7 on my old Ubuntu 18.04) in
