[Bug 1253593] Re: hud memory usage grows over time

 

I use HUD only to launch small set of programs, like gnome-terminal, Qt
Creator etc. I don't use it for file/music or other search.

How much memory should be considered "a lot" for hud-service?
On Ubuntu 12.04 hud-service uses only 7 MB of RAM, and on 13.10 hud-service just after start eats more than 100 MB of RAM.

Attaching current /proc/pid/status (hud service use 174 MB of RAM and
about 10 hours earlier was 120 MB).


** Attachment added: ""/proc/`pgrep hud-service`/status", currently 174 MB used"

Title:
  hud memory usage grows over time

Status in “hud” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After five days of uptime hud-service used 749 MB of RAM.

  Restarting hud-service drops it memory usage to about 100-150 MB, on
  the next day it's using already 227 MB of RAM.

  I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 for developing Qt-based application. Most of the time following applications started and used:
  Qt Creator, Qt Linguist, Qt Designer;
  gnome-terminal;
  gitk, git gui, cmake-gui;
  Firefox;
  Pidgin.

  In the tray there are:
  System Load Indicator,
  Nagstamon (v0.9.11 from official site),
  shutter,
  remmina.

  Also I use Yandex.Music and Grooveshark web-apps.
