I've never noticed high memory use with Gwibber. My problem has been with the high CPU usage. I have a dual core Atom N270 processor, and Gwibber has one of the cores running constantly high ranging between 94% and 107% (I didn't even know the graph could go over 100%). And this is when the program is technically closed. I can't watch videos any more because of the high CPU usage, and Thunderbird freezes periodically, making reading mail a pain. In the end, I had to completely eliminate Gwibber just to get some decent functionality back. I'm using Seesmic Desktop (an Adobe AIR program) to check my feeds now, but I like the convenience of Gwibber being connected into Ubuntu. I hope they can get this sorted out.

Here's my current "top" output for gwibber: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 4662 mkanat 20 0 607m 109m 21m S 0.0 5.5 1:29.76 gwibber As you can see, it's using over 100MB of RES and 607MB in Virt (which is a real mystery to me, though Res is of course what I care about more). I have one Twitter account and one Facebook Status Updates feed configured. It doesn't seem to be leaking memory, it's just always using around 100MB. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~gwibber-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~gwibber-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
