Package: xsysinfo Version: 1.7-5 The version of xsysinfo that comes with Debian 4.0 "etch" has some major issues. It uses a lot of CPU and memory all the time.
Even when you're at the xdm login screen (nobody is logged), If xsysinfo isn't running, the load average is around 0.9 If xsysinfo is running, the load average is around 5.0 Take a look at the following screenshot: http://pierre.baudu.in/files/2007-03-07-095221_1024x768_scrot.png You can very well see that: - load average is 5.0 when xsysinfo is running and 1.0 when it is not running - at the time of the screenshot the load average is 4.50 - at the time of the screenshot 560 MB out of 640 MB of swap are being used Debian release: 4.0 "etch" Architecture: i386 CPU: Pentium III (Katmai) at 450 MHz Memory: 256 MB Kernel: Linux cobra 2.6.18-3-686 #1 SMP Mon Dec 4 16:41:14 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux Version of packages xsysinfo depends on: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6), libice6, libsm6, libx11-6, libxaw7, libxext6, libxmu6, libxpm4, libxt6 It would be nice if someone could look into this :) Thank you, -- Pierre Bauduin Linux enthusiast since 1996 Debian GNU/Linux user website: http://pierre.baudu.in/
