Trying to understand why CPU MAX OUT with Gradient

[scatterbrainz]

Greetings Everyone,

I'm trying to understand why GIMP - (version 2.10.14), when on i5-2500 cpu with 32GB RAM and GTX 760 (2GB), was maxing out system, but now on a AMD Ryzen 5 3600X with 32GB and a GTX 760 (2GB) its still MAXing out the cpu.

PS: I haven't re-installed anything yet. But I'm wondering why this is sucks up EVERYTHING !

For your new GPU could be a hardware issue, however have you tried setting Edit -> Preferences -> System Resources Number of threads to use to 1 or 2 ?

This Gimp 2.10.14 / kubuntu 18.04 / some sort intel gpu applying a gradient to A4 graphic and constantly moving the stop points

This one 4 threads https://i.imgur.com/4prjADU.mp4 All cores going but max at about 70%

This with 1 thread https://i.imgur.com/wWwSoQz.mp4 It does max at 70% but only one core at a time.
