I dreamed that the patch improving high CPU usage has already been released, but I woke up and it's still gone.

Okay, so, I caught my anti-virus/internet security software (Comodo) randomly hogging 60% of my cpu. It didn't do it all the time, but it insidiously wouldn't actually shutdown, so I uninstalled it and switched to Kaspersky.
Now while youtube/audio sources are running, my CPU utilization stays around 15-30%.
So everyone might have to check your anti-virus/internet security software interaction's with Opera.But the memory usage of Opera has increased so i think I turned off/on a couple flags I shouldn't have and have to play around with that.

Since last update (65.0.3467.48) the CPU usage is not that high in YouTube, but it is still pretty high on sites like Spotify if it's not the active tab. Even if it's the active tab, Opera uses consistently 5% of CPU power only to do audio animation - power usage goes from Moderate to Low when I hover the mouse.
I think it's time to deactivate tab audio animations for good.There are some weird random cpu usage spikes as well when there's audio - going from 15% to 60~70% then going down again, which never happens in Chrome. Chrome cpu usage is still way lower on same websites.

i just wanna update my original post..
@nvmjustagirl said in High cpu usage watching youtube:
@arkus1995 lol yea i meant that when stable is muted then ya see what the video cpu is pull 'n..
then when ya un-mute ya see the cpu soar way too high.. so to me the cpu run 'n that high means maybe the audio part needs fix 'n
And the video cpu looked ok..
dev theirs not much difference.. b'tween video & audio cpu on my end
dev for me used lots less cpu for me use 'n as a Standalone..
i also used Opera_GX_63.0.3368.56786 Portable lately.. to me it used less cpu than all the rest..
the latest Gx compares with the dev tho..
Because nothing new has come out from opera except this one Opera GX 64.0.3417.139..
Opera Stable 64.0.3417.83 The cpu audio would drop by hovering mouse over the speaker icon in that tab thats playing the video and audio
and even more by muting the tab..
now the Opera GX 64.0.3417.139 does not reduce cpu with the mouse hovering over the speaker icon
stays the same.. so perhaps the animation has been fixed?.. but still cpu is still way to high for Youtube movies and such..Cpu now only drops when muting tab
when un-muting.. cpu soars way too high to watch a movie for a 1 hour 30 minutes..
so to me the audio still needs Fixing !

Hi,

Yes,
Remember it because of that user.Somewhere read it's related to a W7 bug, but there didn't had responses, so I'm asking here to assure it.
Also,
I've asked days ago on Dev's build Blog whether is related but no one answered.We will see if the affected users does.

tested the new Opera Developer 68.0.3590.0 @ Utube
gpu was a little high until ya hover mouse over the speaker Animation
then it drops a lot, esp if ya mute it for a moment then un - mute leave 'n mouse hover 'n..
when click 'n PIP - i notice the gpu was lots better while watch 'n a video even tho lack 'n a few things..
so to me watch 'n vids is lots better on gpu use 'n the popout !..

Since new PIP just playa on the PopUp the equalizer becomes inactive.
That way I can watch and browse.

Then, I'll try here also.
I don't know where to search to find the solution.A Profile rebuild will be needed.
If you try copy pasting files, you may find the problematic file.
I doubt I'll dedicate all that amount of time to do it.

@zalex108 I have found the difference. In my case, a youtube video consumed 2-3 times more CPU resources than usual if I searched for this video directly through the address bar with the
opera:flags/#reborn-3-dropdown
flag turned off. If this flag is enabled, everything is fine. This is strange, but I checked several times. -

This issue with very high CPU use when animated sound icon on tab is back!
Tested on: i5, Win8.1 64-bit, Opera v.67 and v.68.

@marjang I have already lost faith that they will fix it, I have had it since version 64.

Here still happens, but...
