Rider Energy Usage on a mac is through the roof
Hello
I primarily develop on a macbook air (M2). My Mac battery last about 2 hours when using rider. Rider consistently shows up in the activity monitor as having an energy impact typically 10-20 times that of other apps..like values > 1000. My app is not that big - significant number of projects, but by no means huge..medium size perhaps.
Is this other folks' experience too? Is this expected? Anything i can do to reduce it? Anything i can do to see what the heck rider is doing all the time? I'm not that prolific of a typist!
thanks!

Brightly Lit, do you observe consistently high CPU utilization in the Activity Monitor while using Rider? If so, could you specify the process with high CPU utilization (
JetBrains Rider,Rider.Backend,dotnet, etc.)?Hi! Yes - just navigating files in the app put it at 65-95% of cpu. Idle, just having the app in the foreground seems to be between 25-50% of cpu. It just says Jetbrains Rider-EAP. If I go to the Energy tab and expand then it doesn't give any numbers for “embeddings-server” or “full-line-inference”.
Threads is 254 (right now) - not sure whether this is considered high or not.
Even if i so much as tab to the app it spikes to > 1000 and can hit a lot more :(
Brightly Lit, could you collect and send us the following diagnostic information so we could investigate this behavior further:
ps -arcx -o pid,pcpu,commcollected when you observe high CPU usageYou can send us this information via the Upload Service and let me know the Upload ID.
As a potential workaround, please consider using Power Save mode available under File→Power Save Mode. Note that this mode will prevent some “expensive” code inspections from being run.
