Hi all!
Thanks to everyone helping me out with my missing fonts under X.
Now I have a related question. Running "ps aux" right after login,
this is a typical result:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
-- snip ---------------
xfs 510 0.2 4.5 4008 2936 ? S 14:27 0:00 xfs -port -1 -dae
root 704 5.5 4.1 9292 2732 ? S 14:27 0:01 /etc/X11/X :0
-- snip ---------------
But after having run X several hours, it looks more like this:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
-- snip ---------------
xfs 510 0.0 4.7 5924 3096 ? S Feb11 0:34 xfs -port -1 -dae
root 704 0.7 9.8 14140 6392 ? R Feb11 11:03 /etc/X11/X :0
-- snip ---------------
Note how both these processes have swelled significantly in their
memory usage, especially X. Sometimes I can see a more significant
increase in xfs.
Now, I wonder: what causes these processes to swell over time? AND: do
you all have any tips on how to keep their memory usage down? Note
that these are processes supposedly separate from any window managers
or desktop systems, so my question relates to the actual X process and
the xfs process.
Best,
Jesper
