Public bug reported:
I've run a 'gcalctool' on my cleanly-installed ubuntu 8.04 system.
$ cat /proc/13396/status | grep Vm
VmPeak: 44756 kB
VmSize: 44752 kB
VmLck: 0 kB
VmHWM: 16856 kB
VmRSS: 16856 kB
VmData: 7732 kB <--- this one
VmStk: 812 kB
VmExe: 152 kB
VmLib: 14192 kB
VmPTE: 56 kB
(Yes - I've also looked into /proc/[0-9]*/maps)
So a simple 'gcalctool' uses over seven megabytes of RAM, when it
shouldn't be using more than, let's say, one megabyte. Can anyone
explain me why a simple GNOME application has an overhead of six
megabytes? Is there already a project working on reducing these
outstanding memory requirements? Should I start investigating?
