A while ago, I installed Calibre server on a headless 32-bit Atom (x86) system running Ubuntu 14.04.
Here is some of the output from the Linux "Top" command after 39 days of up time:
The pertinent bit here is that the CPU time for calibre is substantially bigger than anything else (> 3600s or 60 hours!). This behaviour is constant over restarts.
For comparison, second place goes to a music server (the "squeezebox" entry) that controls 4 hardware music players and transcodes streamed audio on the fly. It's still racked up only about 4% of the time Calibre has used. In contrast, the Calibre library probably hasn't even been accessed once since the last restart.
Is this expected behaviour? What is likely to be causing it? Currently I'm thinking of uninstalling from the server and going back to using it solely on my desktop.
NB The instructions I followed suggested that xvfb should be installed to "in order to sidestep issues caused by running Calibre in a non-display environment". I didn't do this, reasoning that I could add it later if I saw any "issues" - could I be seeing one now?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
