Yes, but why emit Added and then Changed, with the exact same data in the signal? What is the purpose of emitting Changed, if nothing changed since the Added signal? Surely the number of signal emissions could be cut in half, by only emitting Added. > One generally > requests these changes by using the Nepomuk2::ResourceWatcher. > Additionally, the Nepomuk2::Resource class internally also uses the > ResourceWatcher to keep its cache up to date. Thanks for this information, I wish dbus-monitor could show me which apps are receiving the signal.... This brings me to another possible optimization: signal sender=:1.3181 -> dest=(null destination) serial=7191516 path=/resourcewatcher/watch27351; interface=org.kde.nepomuk.ResourceWatcherConnection; member=propertyAdded string "nepomuk:/res/40c95b2f-f18c-44d6-ab48-fcb97c905e6d" string "http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/2007/03/22/nmo#messageSubject"; array [ variant string "Re: KDE/kdelibs/kio/kio" ] signal sender=:1.3181 -> dest=(null destination) serial=7191517 path=/resourcewatcher/watch27351; interface=org.kde.nepomuk.ResourceWatcherConnection; member=propertyChanged string "nepomuk:/res/40c95b2f-f18c-44d6-ab48-fcb97c905e6d" string "http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/2007/03/22/nmo#messageSubject"; array [ variant string "Re: KDE/kdelibs/kio/kio" ] array [ ] signal sender=:1.3181 -> dest=(null destination) serial=7191518 path=/resourcewatcher/watch27399; interface=org.kde.nepomuk.ResourceWatcherConnection; member=propertyAdded string "nepomuk:/res/40c95b2f-f18c-44d6-ab48-fcb97c905e6d" string "http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/2007/03/22/nmo#messageSubject"; array [ variant string "Re: KDE/kdelibs/kio/kio" ] signal sender=:1.3181 -> dest=(null destination) serial=7191519 path=/resourcewatcher/watch27399; interface=org.kde.nepomuk.ResourceWatcherConnection; member=propertyChanged string "nepomuk:/res/40c95b2f-f18c-44d6-ab48-fcb97c905e6d" string "http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/2007/03/22/nmo#messageSubject"; array [ variant string "Re: KDE/kdelibs/kio/kio" ] array [ ] This is the same information, emitted twice, once with path /resourcewatcher/watch27351 and once with path /resourcewatcher/watch27399. This is a bit like emitting a QObject signal twice because there are two receivers :-) Well, I suppose this isn't a simple matter, if these two watchers are watching different things, just with a common intersection which the above happens to fall into. But the common case is probably multiple watchers with the same parameters; in such a case, are the watcher paths reused? i.e. if you create two resource watchers to watch the same thing (in the same process or in two different processes), will they share the same registration (path) on the server side, rather than each have their own? I think using dbus is fine for notifications, but still, using it efficiently might be better :) I see nepomukservices using 100% CPU most of the time since I last updated kdepim stuff, and gdb says it's mostly busy preparing dbus messages to send out. Ah, I see two issues in qdbusintegrator.cpp, I'll send a separate message to Thiago and you about that. -- David Faure, [email protected], http://www.davidfaure.fr Working on KDE, in particular KDE Frameworks 5 _______________________________________________ Nepomuk mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/nepomuk
