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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784651 Title: memory hog under 11.04 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
