Package: amavisd-new
Version: 1:2.4.2-6.1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I just noticed that two almost identical amavisd-new installations had
wildly different memory usages.
The only difference is that one system is i386, whereas the other amd64.
On i386, top reports:
VIRT RES SHR CODE DATA SWAP nFLT %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
58660 52m 5176 1024 46m 4700 9 5.3 0:01.94 amavisd (master)
59428 49m 1468 1024 46m 9176 0 4.9 0:00.00 amavisd (virgin child)
59428 49m 1440 1024 46m 9204 0 4.9 0:00.01 amavisd (virgin child)
59428 49m 1464 1024 46m 9180 0 4.9 0:00.01 amavisd (virgin child)
Whereas on amd64:
VIRT RES SHR CODE DATA SWAP nFLT %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
164m 95m 9016 12 83m 68m 12 9.5 0:02.93 amavisd (master)
165m 88m 1408 12 83m 77m 0 8.8 0:00.01 amavisd (virgin child)
165m 88m 1400 12 83m 77m 0 8.8 0:00.01 amavisd (virgin child)
165m 88m 1372 12 83m 77m 0 8.8 0:00.01 amavisd (virgin child)
Both were started a few minutes ago, so the difference isn't caused by the
64bit version having been running for a long time.
I'm having a hard time accepting this difference as normal.
Maybe this is a bug in perl?
i386: This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi
amd64: This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi

there is anything we can do about it.
Hi,
The generic solution for this problem is using the x32 architecture
that uses 32bit pointers on 64bit cpu.
This cannot be solved in this one package, thus closing.
Greetings
