Hi, After resolving my build problems earlier (-O3 in the CFLAGS caused edje_cc to segfault while elementary was building, -O2 worked), i'm now noticing extreme memory usage with Enlightenment. Not at first, it gradually goes up over time.
I first noticed that after Enlightenment runs for a while, the machine gets a bit "laggy" for want of a better description. Windows take a while to respond when switching focus, clicks take longer to register, stuttering while scrolling in Chrome... Wondering what was up, I ran "top" just to see if some process had run away, and found this: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 8867 root 20 0 316872 128708 29988 S 26.1 1.6 1765:45 Xorg 17873 conrad 23 3 1627332 318176 84944 R 10.6 3.9 1876:52 chrome 1174 conrad 23 3 1611356 555672 162412 S 5.9 6.9 80:20.43 chrome 20550 conrad 23 3 2926800 738060 49996 S 5.9 9.1 284:31.02 firefox 9718 conrad 20 0 1975404 1.179g 86444 S 5.6 15.3 604:09.09 enlightenment 3307 conrad 23 3 1225216 457652 69544 S 3.6 5.7 15:17.08 chrome ... (That looked better with a mono-spaced font...) The memory usage goes right back down again after selecting "Restart" from the Enlightenment menu. This was much worse at first, after I used the "-O2 -ffast-math -m=native" CFLAGS, going up to 4.5g under RES overnight, the VIRT number had to be abbreviated with a 'g' as well, and the %MEM value was over 50%! While tracking down the previous build problem I tried with just "-O3" and then just "-O2" to verify that was the cause of the previous segfault, and that last build is the one that's currently running. This seems to be using up memory at a slower rate. I gave up trying to get the libraries freshly from git to build... there were too many conflicting libwhatever-1.so -> 1.15.so / 1.16.so conflicts, and some enlightenment modules were looking for non-existent files in E20 vs E19 directories. Should i just wait for the next release, or will i simply run into the same problems? Should I ditch this new gcc 5.2.1? :) Is there any other way to track down / solve this excessive memory usage?
