Bug#758626: cups-browsed: uses a lot of CPU on a busy network

[Julian Gilbey <jdg@debian.org>]

Package: cups-browsed
Version: 1.0.57-1
Severity: normal

I'm running cups on a machine which lives on a fairly busy network
(about 100 printers broadcasting), and cups-browsed is constantly near
the very top of the "top" list, ordered by %CPU, for example:

PID USER     PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
11954 root   20   0   76428   2532   1268 R  12.9  0.1   8:44.36 cups-brows+

Is this a bug, or just the result of the network having so many
printers?

   Julian
