My cpu usage is on average 17% with peaks of 22% when running this selenium script. Is this normal? I have a 5 5600g processor and am not running anything in the background. Thanks in advance.

Button = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "button")
while not (driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, "button")):
    time.sleep(1)
    driver.refresh()
Button[0].click() 

CodePudding user response：

Officially there is no benchmarking about CPU usage while executing test using Selenium.

Hence, I won't be suprised with CPU usage on average as 17% with peaks of 22% even with 5 5600g processor as historically:

• Why does Selenium uses a lot of memory
• chromedriver.exe runs ~8 chrome.exe instances
• Many process of Google Chrome (32 bit)
• How to quit all the Firefox processes which gets initiated through GeckoDriver and Selenium using Python

and the remediation steps are mentioned in:

• Limit chrome headless CPU and memory usage
• Selenium : How to stop geckodriver process impacting PC memory, without calling driver.quit()?
