Re: [gpsd-dev] gpsd using excessive cpu

[sean d'epagnier]

Now, I am trying to reproduce it, but not having much luck.

I have always seen this problem appear when I'm on passage.  I notice
gpsd is using excessive cpu.  At this point I am somewhere in the
ocean far from land and have been sailing 10-15 days and gpsd running
the whole time.  I am traveling 4-5 knots on average.  When I
restarted gpsd it immediately consumed too much cpu, so to me this
shows it is possibly a bug in the serial layer not gpsd as raymond
suggested.   I will leave my computer running for a few days to try to
reproduce, but after only 24 hours I don't see the problem yet.
