I am experimenting with a diskless setup based on Knoppmyth R5A16
After the frontend is done resizing things, memory usage of the
mythfrontend process starts to increase from 18M (right after the
resizing is done) to 107M of Resident memory (virtual is at 171M)
Trying to run the weather plugin kills the frontend, as I only
have 256M RAM and it runs out of memory.
So, the question is, where is the frontend memory going? It seems
that 107M of resident RAM just to display the main menu is quite
excessive. Did I miss-configure my system?
Mine is using 17M physical memory (16M shared) and 58M virtual memory
while displaying the main menu after 44 1/2 CPU hours (just upgraded my
TV to a digital TV, so I had to change my resolution) during which I've
watched several shows and used plugins--and I'm now using a 1920x1080 X
and Myth GUI resolution.

So, the only help I can really provide is that this is not normal and is
not a Myth bug. So, it's probably a configuration problem. The
question then becomes, "Configuration of what?"
Thanks, at least this confirms that it is something that
can be fixed.
What myth plugins are you using? My next step is to remove
them one by one and see if that helps.
I've got MythControls, MythDVD, MythGallery, MythGame, MythMusic,
MythNews, MythVideo, MythWeather, and MythStream (not MythStreamTV)
installed (and MythWeb, but that doesn't even touch mythfrontend).
I just went in to MythWeather and got this while it was displaying the
weather:

Happy hunting.
