After closing Opera, CPU rise to 50 % load
Hi guys,I'm having difficult times with Opera now, because after I close this program it sometimes stands in processes (checked by task manager) and eats around 50% of my CPU. It significantly reduces my battery life, so I would like to get rid of this problem :-/
Win 7 64 bit Prof
Opera 11.52
extension last pass - running
Opera Stratiform mod (skin)
Opera mail - not in use
Opera link - running
Opera RSS - running
Anybody having the same trouble? Can I somehow log it?
That was my first thought, that Opera is working with RSS feeds or Link, but not every time I close Opera it hangs in services and more importantly, is it really necessary to take 50% from dual-core at 2,4 GHz just to manage those things?
When there is this 50% of load, it seems to me that it somehow freezes, because it is in task manager till I quit the service. I assume that, because I happens to me quite often, that I close Opera and later make double-click on Opera icon to open it again and I am asked to close previous Opera session, but Opera actually isn't open at that time, but there is just the service in task manager eating my CPU alive :-)

This symptom is well-known among those users who have experienced failures in Opera's shutdown process, and there are numerous posts about that aspect -- some of mine provide a running summary of the memory/CPU load at 15-second intervals following the shutdown command. I've noted repeatedly that the memory/CPU load rises (sometimes to large MB values and 100% of CPU) for a period while Opera seems to be storing things (mail, cache, etc.) and then drops off -- the shutdown problem occurs when those loads don't drop to 0 in a graceful closing, which ultimately necessitates a manual termination of the process or process tree (even if the OS is shutting down). This behavior seems to be influenced by multiple other factors and so far there is no definitive resolution.
Whenever this occurs, I typically choose to kill the entire process tree instead of just the Opera process, and that seems to be the most helpful workaround but I'm really hoping that the next major release will fix the problem for good....
