I monitored my memory usage during a scanning job (60+ pages) and I observed the following:
On the machine where the scan was performed I have 1GB of RAM. Each new scanned page (in color at 300ppi) increased my RAM usage by ~30MB. This process continued until my memory usage reached ~850MB. After this point, each new scanned page added caused my SWAP usage to increase by ~30MB. >From the aforementioned explanation the following beneficial >conclusion/workaround can be stated: If worried that you will run out of free memory make your swap partition as large as necessary. When the used memory reaches 85%, the raw scanned images are kept on the swap partition. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525441 Title: Reduce memory usage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/simple-scan/+bug/525441/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
