[Linux] After update, spotify is using a ridiculous amount of resources

I am using version 1.0.25.127.g58007b4c

After an update, the Linux spotify client started to use 60% of my CPU on two processes, here's a screenshot

What can I do to reduce the stupid amount of CPU usage?

Hey @aman207,


Can you try if the CPU usage issue persists in 1.0.26 ( you can get the .deb package here )?

 

If the issue occurs again please make sure to execute the following commands and let me know the output:

strace -p SpotifyPID
time spotify
