That still means staroffice is a hog, but at least it's more realistic. Most process information programs don't handle threaded applications too well (there must be a reason, but i have no idea what it is). StarOffice has multiple threads which all share that 33.7MB, so ps/gtop/etc reports each thread as using that much memory. -- finger for GPG public key. 8 Jan 2000 - Old email addresses removed from key, new added pgpuPcssJptVW.pgp Description: PGP signature
Staroffice and gtop
I was checking gtop today to see how much memory was going to various things, and staroffice was reported as using 500+ megs. Now, I did just upgrade to 512mb of ram, but I have like 200megs of other things in memory, so this didn't make much sense. Also, LCDProc (A program to display system info to a LCD) reports 300 and some megs free. So, whats going on here? I find it hard to believe that staroffice uses that much memory. Anyone else see this behaviour? -Aaron Solochek [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Staroffice and gtop
you sure you did not read that incorrectly? lcdproc and gtop and virtualy every other program gets its processing info from the same place, biggest program ive seen is E, on a freshly installed SuSe 6.3 machine it sometimes took over 220MB of memory. nate On Thu, 6 Jan 2000, Aaron Solochek wrote: leko I was checking gtop today to see how much memory was going to various leko things, and staroffice was reported as using 500+ megs.
