[Android][MAUI-8.0.7] CPU usage consistently remains above 10%, even without any operation

[BaY1251]

Description

When there is a 'CollectionView' with property set to ItemsLayout="HorizontalList", the interface responds very slowly.CPU is always occupied, maintaining around 20%

Steps to Reproduce

Download https://github.com/BaY1251/MauiDebug.git

1. Open /HorizontalList/HorizontalList.sln
2. Change configuration to 'Release', and deployment the project
3. Wait for 5 minutes, do not take any action during this period
4. Command line input adb shell top -n 1 | findstr "\<com.companyname.horizontallist\> \<PID\>"' to view CPU usage.
5. Waiting for what you think is a long enough time
6. Command line input adb shell top -n 1 | findstr "\<com.companyname.horizontallist\> \<PID\>"' to view CPU usage.

@moljac
I noticed that my project seems to have been modified, please make sure to use <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Maui.Controls" Version="8.0.7" /> instead of <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Maui.Controls" Version="$(MauiVersion)" />

Or,
Can you directly deploy my project? I am certain that the issue introduced in the new version(8.0.7) occurred in Android 7.1, while the old version did not have this issue

I noticed that my project seems to have been modified,

yes. I have template for multi TFM tests. I tried your sample. There was some processor %, but not 20%.

I will paste logs today.

please make sure to use <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Maui.Controls" Version="8.0.7" /> instead of <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Maui.Controls" Version="$(MauiVersion)" />

I will add those references to my projects.

Or, Can I directly deploy my project?

Can you? I guess you can. I did. Yes there was some % but not 20%.

The reason I use my template is to find possible regressions if any.

I am certain that the issue introduced in the new version(8.0.7) occurred in Android 7.1, while the old version did not have this issue

OK. Good to know. I will test more today.

[moljac]

OK. I was able to repro

with

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Maui.Controls" Version="8.0.7" />

it is not 20%, but 10% original sample and 12% for my sample.

[BaY1251]

Thank you very much. These data are sufficient to illustrate the issue, as other versions are close to 0%.

PS:
20% was the initial test, with a lot of interface elements to demonstrate slow interface response.
Later, I found that the CPU was sufficient to explain the problem, so I will modify the title.

[BaY1251]

can repro in Net9 pre 2?

[BaY1251]

can repro in MAUI-8.0.20

[BaY1251]

This may not be just a problem with CollectionView. I tried using ScrollView+HorizontalStackLayout instead, but the problem still occurred.

[PureWeen]

Can you test with the latest nightly build?

[PureWeen]

I tested the repro here and I no longer see any ping ponging with the latest nightly
