Is it even supposed to be like that? 58% of memory is used (+3% from screenshot app) and CPU load comes up to 60% or sometimes even 80%. No. Apps. Running. (except crest/lighthouse/screenshot)

Also what is that lipstick app? Imma man, i don't need no lipstick. Dem booster works perfectly boosting CPU consumption like crazy. And what about that jolla-messages -prestart?

Is there any way to read descriptions of all processes running on my Jolla?

Is commiting factory reset my only option?

P.S.: would put away images in some kind of [offtopic] or [hide] if there would be one. Sry about that.

I think crest uses some sort of averaging. A few times when using firefox, I noticed that crest seemed to display very high cpu numbers for firefox. (At least when starting crest after firefox was already running.) The numbers would decrease only very slowly. But when checking the situation in FIngerterm using top, I'd see that the cpu usage was much lower than what crest displayed.

Boosteris a part of mapperlauncherd which is basically an app launcher that preloads libraries of applications so they can start faster. You can see this github repo of mapperlauncherd with more information on it: https://github.com/nemomobile/mapplauncherd

Lipstick is the graphical user interface a.k.a. the home screen a.k.a. the desktop of SailfishOS. (The one showing all running apps and a list of applications). It is connected to many system components. So I would not kill it if I were you :)

jolla-messages -prestart is the messages app preloaded in the background basically.

I don't think that is possible. You can try to find a manpage on them or search the internet for them.

The high cpu usage of booster is unusual. Normally it should not be that high or if it is (maybe directly after an upgrade) it should get to normal very soon. (depending on how many apps are installed) Memory usage is also a little bit higher than average.

If it does not settle down. I would turn the device off. Wait for 10 minutes and turn it on again and see if it settles down after that. If it doesn't only then I would think about factory reset but would first try stoping dalvik from settings -> system -> utilities and see if that helps.

@leszek, thanks for a reply will now try what you advised. I did an upgrade quite long time ago.

@leszek, By the way what would happen if would kill it? I actually considered doing this today but decided to ask first as it could lead to unknown consequences. Would a reboot fix that?

I guess you will get a blank (black) screen then after a few seconds the green light will blink and the device would restart lipstick. (I guess there is a watcher taking a look if this app is running and if not restarting it)

@leszek, wow, it looks like restarting android support actually helped. You had to see my face when opening crest, looking at the same high numbers when they started to drop. CPU load jumps from 7% to 51% for some seconds sometime but i guess that's ok. Tho there is 42% of loaded memory but i guess that's ok too. Gonna watch those numbers for some more time and will close the question after. Thank you very much for your help.

Yep, consumption has returned to acceptable numbers. Thanks again, question closed.
