There is 1 process which is added to the sheduler list for nothing and they still have memory used.
On one hand you have the operating system developpers which are wondering how to save a few bits or how to schedule the processes, etc. On the other hand you have the update notifier program which is making the process list bigger, which consumes memory (even if a part shared), etc. I don't know which type of memory it is, but top is showing that adept_notifier is wasting with no activity (no update available): - 40 MB RES - 9 MB shared Moreover if the shared memory is used only by the update notifier then terminating the update notifier will just save the shared memory used. FYI, Microsoft Windows made all the programs and services try to use the windows task planner (like cron) in order to save the memory which was wasted by Vista. Basically many Windows programs had the same behavior: sleeping most of the time. The Ubuntu distro is becoming as big as the Microsoft Windows Vista OS ! My next OS will be Microsoft Windows 7 ! -- stop update-notifier when updates have been run, or when no updates available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
