I've been using the stable releases, so master could be a big jump, but sure; I'll try it out. > Also, please give us what cat /proc/`pidof tracker-store`/status | grep > VmRSS gives you. GNOME System Monitor isn't really a very accurate tool > for this (although +9GB sure sounds bad still). I double-checked using VmRSS now; it is showing pretty much the same picture. (Checking on my laptop, with the same tracker version 0.8.6) VmRSS rises by about 1MB/s until tracker-store starts swapping heavily; I killed it on my laptop once VmRSS hit 2GB (at about 50% through indexing a rather smaller /home). <after installing and testing tracker git master...> Looks like the development branch fixes the problems I was having. tracker-store's memory usage is insignificant (~14MB RSS, growing by 100k every 5 minutes or so), CPU usage is lower (previously tracker-store was pegging a CPU at 100%), and indexing speed is up. I'll let it run until completion to see if anything else pops up, but it's looking good so far. Are there plans to backport these fixes onto the 0.8 branch, or should I attempt to pressure my distro into packaging the 0.9 branch? -- Calvin Walton <calvin.wal...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ tracker-list mailing list tracker-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
