They're not entirely arbitrary, more or less built to try and have a continuum of values. Basically trusted services (unity, etc.) are zero. Then we put the focused application below that at 100. The dash is 200 so if there is no focused application it is the lowest. Then unfocused applications are 900. Hand-wavingly that means that a focused application would be allowed to use 8 times as much memory as an unfocused application if memory size was the only thing taken into account. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1478853 Title: OOM scoring kills the browser's render process while the browser is running To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1478853/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
