Bug ID: 429433
Summary: Falkon tends to bind large memory usage over time
Product: Falkon
Version: 3.1.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Over time Falkon uses more and more memory, without ever releasing it. Closing
the tabs will close QWEProcesses but not make the main program free some
memory.
What started with just ~120mb, after hours of usage Falkon is now allocating
over 2gb of ram!
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Just work with Falkon for hours without closing it. Check the memory.
2. Notice the main program will never release the memory, no matter how many
tabs you close.
OBSERVED RESULT
Memory leak or simply a build up over time. It's possible that Nvidia hardware
acceleration makes Falkon use more memory. However, in my findings it's not
more than 50-100mb extra ram being used.
EXPECTED RESULT
Memory optimization, releasing RAM allocation. Just as an example, Firefox uses
around 250-500mb all the time. Compared to 2.1GB and growing of Falkon, it's
WAY above normal.
