Recently Ruby has decided to stomp my CPU. After running for a bit Ruby
sometimes spikes to 100% CPU - even if I just have, say, the IRB open in
terminal.
Any ideas?

Usually I just kill the process. Not a big problem when it happens once
in a while. But now it’s happening several times a day…
Can’t find a reference anywhere about ppl having similar problems…

I’ve had similar problems before–I think it might be some type of an OS
X thing, and is especially aggravated when using multiple ruby threads
[if I remember correctly]. You can use dtrace [google for it, or a
small hack is [1]] and see if it looks familiar to you at all.
I posted something about something once:

Well if the process is actually running (garbage collection maybe) then
it
would use clock cycles and if there is nothing else needing those cycles
I
would expect it to use 100%.

Betreff: Re: Ruby 1.8.6. - 100% CPU on OS X
with the
cause noticeable load. After all, top uses about one third of all cpu
time on these …If it’s on decent hardware then irb consuming noticeable amounts of
CPU time sounds fishy. But then Firefox always eats some cpu time for
me, and there is usually plenty left so I don’t watch it too closely.Thanks

Hi –
I don’t know if this applies to your CPU load problem, but I’ve had
several strange errors related to Ruby
(on Linux Ubuntu).
When I reported them on this and other lists, the authors of various
gems told me that they had tried
their software on a fresh install of Ubuntu and Ruby and their gem,
without problems.
I then reinstalled Ubuntu on my system, and Ruby, from source, and
everything else, and the bug disappeared.
I wrote something like that in response to another post, and Ara Howard
wrote that he had had issues with
Ruby and OS X as well.

Maybe a reinstall from source can help ?
Best regards,
Axel

I wonder if it does the same on the *BSDs?

Well, if it’s on something like a G3 there aren’t many CPU cycles,
spare or otherwise. Something like garbage collection could possibly
cause noticeable load. After all, top uses about one third of all cpu
time on these …
