Wanted to know if any others are facing this issue, so that I can atleast rest assured that it was not something I had done.

The issue: Hildon-home shows as consuming 96% cpu and 47% ram from time to time (using conky, htop). The interface still responds, like the swipes across home screens but tapping a missed call alert or a new message becomes totally non-responsive. I can reach the phone app though easily by clicking the app icon or through the power button.

The new firmware update 51-1 showed in its change log that these elements have been made more responsive but I see no difference for this issue. I reduced the number of home screens, removed widgets and uninstalled status bar apps like load applet, still it does not change the scenario.

This does not happen always but when it happens it stays like this for around 3 to 4 minutes, long enough to frustrate when you are trying to open a new message. No other process is consuming more than usual power in htop.

Any ideas?
