[Bug 784651] Re: memory hog under 11.04
I'd also like to note this isn't by any means a underpowered rig; I built it a few months ago with gaming and CPU intense tasks such as compiling and multimedia work in mind. Surely a quad core Phenom II clocked at 3.2GHz is overkill for linux, right? I've got a Radeon HD 5670 for the graphics grunt-work, so it's not like the CPU is doing double duty. Is there a way to disable Compiz, or am I stuck with all of the graphics quirks and wasted memory? (Yes, I know it's pretty, but I'd rather put those resources to better use) I mean, the only thing that has significantly changed since Maverick (which was having similar issues too.) is the mandatory compiz effects. On Maverick once compiz is disabled, everything runs fine and dandy. I'll look into what has changed system load wise since the upgrade; I have collectd running to make sure I catch any nasty problems before they come back to bite me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784651 Title: memory hog under 11.04 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Sorry for the triple post, but here are a few graphs for an before and after comparison of system utilization. The last week is shown, and I upgraded late sunday, the two blank intervals of time being mandatory reboots after the upgrade finished. Notice how rapidly the memory and swap usage rises when the system is being used; before upgrading, physical ram usage would raise and hold around 3Gb, almost never needing to swap to disk and remaining snappy and responsive. The next day, I hop on to check my email, read the new entries on hackaday, and listen to some music. This is very light compared to what I usually put that system through, yet it eats all of the available ram and needs significant amounts of swap to run. The sharp decline tuesday night shows me killing banshee, the gimp, firefox, thunderbird, and eventually the X server over SSH out of frustration because my dad's blu-ray player wasn't playing content on a samba share due to the entire thing thrashing uncontrollably. ** Attachment added: Graphs of pre/post upgrade system resources https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/784651/+attachment/2133868/+files/graphs.tar -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784651 Title: memory hog under 11.04 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
