Just a random number, as I have not done any tests on how much memory the icon cache uses, and I have no idea how many icons there are in use in a typical e17 session. > I can see this overflowing > fairly easy in E as it is now and this doesn't even include mime icons. > With my tests I haven't seen the cache come into play at all, the time > between searching for icons once and searching for that same set again > results in nearly identical times.

I have only checked with limiting the icon list in one of the efreet tests. Could you send me your test code? Limiting the icon list in ef_icon_theme.c to 100 icons, and duplicating the icon search code: (first drop disk cache: echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) First run : 0.390257 Second run: 0.032595 Sebastian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
