I'm not sure if it is the right thing to do but I've just moved the
state of this bug back to "In Progress".
I've been running Nautilus for over 2 months. It is using 1.4GB of
virtual memory:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
martins 2674 0.0 4.5 1515596 139560 ? Sl 2009 60:00 nautilus
There's still a leak.
Nautilus was showing 4 folders. 3 were very simple and one is a fairly
large tree of OGGs. For the most part, the windows for these folders
have just been sitting there open with nothing happening - nothing
complex going on. Back on 13 December, when Nautilus was started, my
system was up-to-date and had been running for just a few minutes...
If there are thoughts that this might be due to a large amount of
unmapped memory:
mart...@rover:~$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3087616 2476252 611364 0 74072 430908
-/+ buffers/cache: 1971272 1116344
Swap: 3908512 1829452 2079060
mart...@rover:~$ killall nautilus
mart...@rover:~$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3087616 2331620 755996 0 74156 433976
-/+ buffers/cache: 1823488 1264128
Swap: 3908512 704728 3203784
That is, killing nautilus freed over 1GB of swap.
Starting it again has it using ~100MB of virtual memory:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
martins 6674 4.3 1.1 107728 35140 ? Sl 13:18 0:03 nautilus
--no-desktop /home/martins
This is while displaying the more "complex" folder containing OGGs.
It certainly looks like in December there was still a serious leak in
Nautilus.
