Hi folks, On my 64 bit linux machine, git uses a *lot* of virtual memory.
PID PPID USER TTY NI CODE VIRT RES SWAP SHR WCHAN S %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 26069 26055 hcs pts/20 0 860 1406m 9560 1.4g 6784 - S 0 0.2 0:00 git-fetch 26079 26069 hcs pts/20 0 200 3456m 40m 3.3g 9880 - R 32 1.0 0:09 git-index-pack 26114 26055 hcs pts/20 0 860 2509m 38m 2.4g 17m - D 5 1.0 0:00 git Yes, those are gigabytes! (The SWAP column isn't indicative of swap file usage, it is just the difference between VIRT and RES.) I suspect most of the virtual memory is unused, simply allocated but never written. On linux, this doesn't cause much of a problem but maybe windows actually instantiates physical pages for them. -- Csaba/Jester ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
