Hi, it appears (based on duplicate comments) that this is dealing with
huge amounts of bookmarks - Are any people using the stumbleupon addon?
Apparently it has a 'feature' where it will auto-bookmark any thumbs-
upped item. In addition to being a massively stupid design decision, it
also plonks a mouth-opening amount of bookmarks on the user's profile.
If you do not have a large amount of bookmarks, please open a new report
as this one specifically targets this problem type.
** Summary changed:
- massive memory leak in unity-panel-service and hud-service when invoking the
hud on certain Firefox Profiles
+ massive memory leak in unity-panel-service and hud-service when invoking the
hud on Firefox profiles with large amounts of bookmarks
** Description changed:
- unity-panel-service and hud-service quickly racks up memory until I kill
- it when invoking the HUD on Firefox. It's taking anywhere from a few
- minutes to half an hour, but it sometimes makes the system unusable.
+ unity-panel-service and hud-service quickly racks up memory and CPU
+ usage until I kill it when invoking the HUD on Firefox. It's taking
+ anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour, but it sometimes makes the
+ system completely unusable.
1. run Firefox 12.0 in the foreground
2. hit Alt to bring up HUD
3. type any text
4. select one proposal from HUD
+ 5. wait for unity-panel-service and hud-service to fill up the remaining RAM
and swap space.
- Creating and using a new profile presents no memory leaks.
+ This is due to a high number of bookmarks in a user profile (hundreds).
** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu)
