Portable Tornado 1 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 In the past couple weeks, Evernote for Mac has been regularly "Using Significant Energy" -- even beating out Chrome, which is impressive. It looks like, in particular, it's "Evernote Helper (Renderer) 79843." Screenshots attached. It's making my computer noticeably hot and eating away my battery. Any ideas how to resolve? Thanks!

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,172 Posted December 22, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted December 22, 2023 App settings, hardware acceleration. The checkmark must be turned OFF to turn H.A. ON. It has an effect on the performance. Link to comment
Level 5* s2sailor 2,235 Posted December 22, 2023 Level 5* Share Posted December 22, 2023 I'm not seeing it in the latest version, 10.68.3. Only the storage space warning. Link to comment
Portable Tornado 1 Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 Looks like it's unchecked for me. Should I check this in order to reduce Evernote's battery usage? Link to comment

nabil- 1 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 +1. I've been experiencing a terribly laggy interface on 10.68.3 and the last couple of versions, since November. Tried full reinstall etc and issue persists; earlier versions are snappy. Support doesn't seem to have an answer; good news is there seem to be a lot of us - hoping we get this resolved ASAP 🤞 Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,172 Posted December 27, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted December 27, 2023 The question was CPU usage - these statistics don’t tell anything about a „why“. In the cases I know a local data corruption caused a loop, that made the CPU run in a circle. Link to comment
Portable Tornado 1 Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Apologies for the tardy followup here, but it looks like this may have resolved itself. I haven't noticed the issue in about 4 weeks at this point, so perhaps resolved by an Evernote update? Link to comment
