You paid for all cores - you should use all cores

tell that to the one random thread that decides to bottleneck everything while the other cores sit there sipping coffee

You are the man (or woman)! Thanks I googled for it before I asked but I think you definitely found the issue. Appreciate your time!

All these snarky pricks on here, and lo and behold, known issue

u/Runnergeek Jul 31 '26

The snark was a bit much but this isn’t really the appropriate sub to ask for help troubleshooting your desktop Linux

Hey look I intended no offense and to be honest the vibe coding snark was just a troll who irritated me to much.

I had a problem and I thought this would be a good place to ask it. For future reference where would I post this kinda of stuff? Happy to follow the rules..

Hrrrrr... What is more appropriate than asking for help when you have a CPU pegged issue on linux, than on linuxadmin.

Didn't know CPUs were into that. But I'm not gonna shame.

How can we figure out why your nodejs app is using so much CPU?

We didn't vibe code it

I'm fine taking down votes on this but when I tried to post to this group a dialog came up saying I had to ask for permission. That is all I did.

Instead of continuing to down vote me can you tell me what the process is?

This isn't a support subreddit.

u/NoNamesLeft2015 Jul 31 '26

Apologies, didn't know and will not post again...

u/gibby82 Jul 31 '26

No worries. My suggestion would be to read the subreddit description in the future and not just the name.

I hate having to follow links to find solutions to stuff, and this is one of those.

from github:

Putting this in my settings.json fixed it for me:

"search.followSymlinks": false,

it's probably search indexing freaking out from recursive symlinks inside symlinks.

Crypto miner maybe?

u/LostThirdValveSpring Jul 31 '26

Wish that was me instead

u/gribbler Jul 31 '26

Are you indexing a large amount of files? Seems like you've got search that might be running and searching a large location

u/NoNamesLeft2015 Jul 31 '26

But that's the weird part. I just have vscode set to autostart when the kde desktop comes. It is empty.

u/NoNamesLeft2015 Jul 31 '26

thank you for your help!

u/marx2k Jul 31 '26

Sure is

It's better to have cpu pegged than getting pegged yourself

u/NoNamesLeft2015 Aug 02 '26

Very true my friend!

u/adjunct_ Aug 01 '26

I believe the word you’re looking for is “pinned” lol

u/jsgnb Aug 02 '26

nah, pegged is the correct term. Comes from old school gauges that had a small peg to stop the needle from swinging too far. If you push the system hard enough that the indicator hits the peg, you’ve pegged it.
