Hello,
A French user tells me privately that he finds a big memeory leak in LyX-2.0.2
on an Archlinux LyX distribution (about 1.5Mo/mn).
On my Debian Squeeze and a simple document, I find about 1.7ko/mn.
Testing with the Userguide, I find around 19ko/mn with the following recipe:
- open LyX-2.0.2 (English locale)
- open the UserGuide
- minimize the window
- activate a crontab every minute with command ps -o rss= -p <process_id>
I find no leak with Lyx-1.6.10, and an much smaller one (identical for each) of
0.28ko/mn with Lyx-2.0.2 and 2.0.1.
Is this a real leak, a misleading procedure, or a new behaviour with 2.0 (hidden
tasks like auto-update or something) ?
Jean-Pierre
