Lower idle CPU usage after upgrading from Dragonfish to Electric Eel

Just for fun, I took a look at the “idle” CPU usage difference between Dragonfish (before October 29th) and Electric Eel (after October 29th). In particular, I noticed that the CPU usage was around 14-15% pre-upgrade, and 3-4% post-upgrade. Isn’t this part of the reason why there was a migration away from Kubernetes and towards Docker? I should note that I’m running a Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1245 v5 @ 3.50GHz with 64GB of ECC memory.

Part? Eh, more of an end result. Running kubernetes on a single node is kind of overkill. And maintaining/creating charts need much more knowledge than docker.

I didn’t see as drastic drop in cpu/load as you, prob depends on what workloads & cpu you’re using. I’m using my old 8700k which breezes through my mostly home media stack (4 or 5 arrs, sab, qbit/gluetun, plex etc).
