Nextcloud, with similar features, consume 1/10 of the processor time.
I niced insync to 19 but with few result.
This is unhealty for consume and battery.

How can I solve this problem?

Hi @Guido_Iodice,

Was Insync doing a large sync at the time the consumption was increasing?

Please also send your logs.db and out.txt files to support@insynchq.com with the link to this post.

yes, it does. Despite this, in top I see insync go up very often, unlike nextcloud which rarely goes up. This rise seems to me mitigated with nice=19, but not by much.
I’m sending the files to support.

Thank you for sending the files, @Guido_Iodice. I was able to receive them and have forwarded them to our engineers for further investigation.

I measured the insync time after the initial re-indexing, it’s 22, a lot(!) but less than half of total consume after few hours.
