I have some code to trace that now in lp:~mvo/software-center/inspect- memleak:
Usually when I run it it looks roughly like this: $ PYTHONPATH=. python tests/gtk3/test_memleak.py 2>/dev/null inspecting SoftwareCenterAppGtk3._on_transaction_finished() nr_objs: 58141 size: 125.5M res: 360.7M (32125 92337) nr_objs: 58130 size: 134.6M res: 368.7M (34461 94395) inspecting AppdetailsView.show_app() nr_objs: 68067 size: 158.1M res: 1.5G (40470 398694) nr_objs: 70589 size: 158.4M res: 1.5G (40538 399085) inspecting LobbyView.on_db_reopen() nr_objs: 74882 size: 204.6M res: 1.5G (52387 403115) nr_objs: 76934 size: 208.5M res: 1.5G (53371 404030) Inspecting PackageInfo.open() nr_objs: 76897 size: 248.8M res: 1.5G (63685 405016) nr_objs: 76932 size: 257.0M res: 1.6G (65794 407125) inspecting purchaseview nr_objs: 77873 size: 258.1M res: 1.6G (66077 409175) nr_objs: 77873 size: 258.1M res: 1.6G (66078 409175) inspecting SubcategoryViewGtk.set_subcategory() nr_objs: 80540 size: 281.5M res: 1.9G (72072 501911) nr_objs: 84246 size: 283.7M res: 1.9G (72632 502086) But sometimes I see: $ PYTHONPATH=. python tests/gtk3/test_memleak.py 2>/dev/null ... Inspecting PackageInfo.open() nr_objs: 75790 size: 247.5M res: 1.5G (63363 404718) nr_objs: 76068 size: 296.3M res: 1.6G (75847 408977) ... when all the other values look normal. So that seems to be a candidate for closer inspection. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1003466 Title: Software Center Memory/Processor bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1003466/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
