[Bug 306497] Re: gwibber uses a lot of memory

 

I doubt we'll get it down much more, it is easily 1/5 or less than what
it used to be.  The only way we can cut it back more is to not create
multiple streams, which would mean we would have to destroy and recreate
the stream view as you switch between the views.  Right now it creates
all of them and you just slide between them.

Title:
  gwibber uses a lot of memory

Status in Gwibber:
  Incomplete
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  gwibber seems to be using a lot of RAM for being such a simple
  application. Here's my current "top" output for gwibber:

    PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND            
   4662 mkanat    20   0  607m 109m  21m S  0.0  5.5   1:29.76 gwibber            

    As you can see, it's using over 100MB of RES and 607MB in Virt
  (which is a real mystery to me, though Res is of course what I care
  about more).

    I have one Twitter account and one Facebook Status Updates feed
  configured.

    It doesn't seem to be leaking memory, it's just always using around
  100MB.
