    [6.6.1] docker stats command for cpu load and memory load running almost constantly

    I agree, I am running plex and some other dockers. Raw CPU horsepower doesn't really concern me here, it just seems like this is an expensive command on any level of processing power if it's strictly for a display that is rarely viewed. Just surfing through some of the docker bug reports on the stats command, they seem to be well aware that it is an expensive command to run and do not have a fix in place yet. e.g.: https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/190

     

    For example, my plex docker on unraid with hardware Intel Quick Sync transcoding of 1080p or 4k is able to easily serve my 2 endpoints at home without consuming much more than a constant 5-10% of CPU.  Other containers don't consume much either -- as is the case similar to full blown VMs, having available RAM seems to be more important in most cases.  I do run VMWare ESXi on a Xeon based server for most of my other needs that require more power, but I wanted to keep plex on my Unraid server because my Xeon does not have Intel Quick Sync.

     

    I'll work on submitting a feature request.

    Oh thank you very much, thanks to your comment I discovered that my CPU is QuickSync capable!
