Unusualy high CPU usage of OneDrive Build 21.002.0104.0005
Update: I bought a new ThinkPad E14 Gen 2 with a Ryzen 4500u. For everyone who knows about current CPU models I don't have to say more about the great performance of these CPUs. It's a 6 core CPU with great single core performance. There are several benchmarks which show the 4000 series are superior to many Intel Ice Lake and even Tiger Lake CPUs.
So I thought there might be better CPU behaviour of Onedrive now with this kind of CPU but I was proven wrong today.
OneDrive still uses up around 30% of the CPU and even goes up to 50% now. What's also new behaviour is that it sometimes works with 20% of CPU. The 50% especially occur when Onedrive works for a longer time.
I don't want to sound disrespectful or spoiled but how can a cloud software use this kind of CPU resources? I don't know anything about the technical issues creating such a software but shouldn't Onedrive be something that can be used permanently in the background without interfering with the overall performance. At least that's how it was 2 months ago.
I've used some systems from Google Drive to Dropbox and even Time Capsule (which was the best system so far). I never experienced such problems until now with Onedrive.
I think this should be fixed soon I don't think this is how it's supposed to be. Other than that (And the mobile app. The usability sometimes feels like something from the 2000s) Onedrive especially with Office is a great value.
