Ok this is in respect of SXCE 101a which includes both Songbird and Rhythmbox. I have what I suspect as a mediocre size library of mp3 that is 113G in size. But that is not the issue. When I examine the RSS value of Songbird (506M) vs the RSS value of Rhythmbox 87M for the same size of imported mp3 files that is quite a large difference.
The question is what is a reasonable consumption of memory for a multimedia application? I do understand that Songbird has other options but what I would like a good understanding is what is a reasonable limit of memory consumption of these two multimedia applications on a desktop with 4G of memory. I would just like to hear some logical justification of the memory consumption with the intended target audience/usage of their respective systems. ---Bob -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
