Hi all,
I am not sure if it is just me or my Linux machine but I have a problem
that looks like memory leaks or something like this.
After running a very large G-code program (like 655,000 lines of code,
14 MB filesize) EMC becomes real slow. A clear live plot (ctrl-K) does
not help but after shutting down EMC and restarting again the behaviour
is as expected. With real slow I mean that it takes 1 - 2 seconds before
EMC responds on keypresses to move an axis. In a normal situation the
response is instantaneous and a short push on the page up key moves the
Z-axis a bit (1 mm or so) but after running a large program a short
press on page up results in a Z-axis move of 50 - 100mm.
I tried both the clear live plot and loading another (small, few lines
of code) G-code file but that does not help.
Stopping and restarting EMC helps, then the system is in 'normal mode'
again.
The machines is a 1.8 GHz intel and has (only) 1 GB of memory available.
I do see that there is about 1 MB of swap space being used but I cannot
relate this to these slow response times.
Regards,
Rob
