anyone, feel free to correct me if this has been adressed
before, but I have a problem that after a period of time (from
several hours to a day) Fire will consume all available memory.
it seems some component, or components, has a serious memory
leak. this is with both TOT and the daily builds, by the way.
it's serious because it eventually causes swap to become used,
and on machines with little space for swapfiles, that can lead
to corruption. well, that and everybody hates memory leaks and
sluggishness. quitting and restarting fixes it, but it'd be
nice not to have to do that, and sometimes (when the user is
away for long periods of time) that's not possible.
output from top:
... after starting fire
PID COMMAND %CPU TIME #TH #PRTS #MREGS RPRVT RSHRD RSIZE VSIZE
7151 Fire 5.5% 2:31.78 6 137 685 62.8M 37.0M 73.1M 176M
... some time later
7151 Fire 6.7% 12:58.84 7 140 898 73.4M- 45.7M 86.8M- 200M+
... and still later
7151 Fire 11.0% 23:27.39 7 140 1243 92.4M+ 71.7M+114M+ 255M+
(this example is rather mild, over the period of about two
hours, though normally it seems to eat memory faster)
the rate of memory usage increase (slope) does seem to
correspond at least somewhat with activity. though the rate of
virtual memory usage increase seems to be somewhat linear,
without as much dependance on user interaction.
watching top now I can see it growing, before my eyes. :-/
