I've checked now. The situation with 5.1.1.0 is much better: For me, RSS is around 150 MB per file. With 4.1.2-2 it was about 300-500 MB. For me, and others on relatively low end systems, this is could be the difference between "annoying but acceptable" and "useless". For the record: I don't know what the situation was with 3.x, but it I doubt it used a lot of memory - at least I didn't notice it. [Off topic: Does anybody know why it's necessary to spawn a new ghc-modi process for every open file? I'm sure upstream has a good reason since the memory usage is a known problem, but I'm curious…] -- Gard Spreemann <gspreem...@gmail.com> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
