I agree with the reporter. If you open say a CD with a large folder of photos, eog quite happily eats all available CPU, I/O and memory caching the photos in the folder. The intention of caching is to improve responsiveness however what ends up happening is that eog uses lots of virtual memory.
I think that the caching thread probably needs to be a lot more conservative, maybe it should have a little sleep between reading images. Also it probably needs to only read a few files before and after the displayed image. -- eog caches too many images https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/37429 -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
