[Bug 727132] [NEW] gwibber.sqlite grows too big and causes gwibber to hang

 

Public bug reported:

I am following more than 18000 accounts by my twitter account. I think
just because of that the ~/.config/gwibber/gwibber.sqlite file grows
very fast.

Before I cleared all my gwibber configuration and started fresh the file
was 1.5 GB of size and every refresh, operation on Gwibber was taking 5
minutes where the application seemed to hang.

After I cleared the configuration and restarted, just within a day, the
file became 18MB and it is growing rapidly.. Causing every operation to
become slower and slower.

I also have another Twitter account to follow and Facebook, but I do not
want to integrate them before this problem is solved..

AFAICS every message coming in to the Gwibber is stored in
gwibber.sqlite. If there would be a feature to cleanup of tweets /
messages on the GUI, it would solve my problem.

My Setup:
- Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit
- Gwibber 2.32.2
- Only one twitter account where it follows more than 18000 other twitter accounts
