Please see attached imaged - a screenshot of Windows Task manager.
I have a lot of MySQL and MariaDB servers installed (all needed for
application testing). It is noticeable that MariaDB 10.1 uses around
twice as much as much memory as compared to MariaDB 10.0, MySQL 5.6
and 5.7 (5 GB versus 2.5 GB in rough numbers). Even more surprising
to me as P_S is not running with 10.1 (as I understand).
Further I have MariaDB 10.0 running virtualized in OpenSuSE 12.3
inside Virtualbox. The process for the virtual machine use only around
10% or memory as compared to MariaDB 10.0 running natively on Windows
(there is also an active VM running Mint Linux - but MySQL is not
running there currently)
I also have a number of older MySQL servers (5.0, 5.1 and 5.5) The use
much less memory. That is expected as the configuration reserves
smaller buffers.
Both MariaDB servers in Windows use the configuration created by the
installer. MySQL 5.6 adn 57 servers use the MySQL Installer standard
"developer machine" configuration. The configuraiton of MariaDB 10 in
SuSE is as shipped with the distro (I did not check it actually).
None of the servers have been connected to since system was restarted.
System has been running for approximately 4 hours and all servers
start with Windows. The VM with SuSE has been running for approxmately
2 hours.
In the attached image I have framed and starred my observations.
I want to emphatize, that I don't face any problems with this at all.
I have 32 GB RAM and 4 CPUs each capable of processing 2 parallel
threads,and I can run Windows 7 with all the servers you see (and
simultaneously use the system iinteractively for Internet browsing,
playing media, processing photos, document creation/editing and what
else you would do with a desktop system), as well as have the two VMs
(both configured with an upper resource limit of 24 GB RAM and 6 CPU
threads).
The memory may be released if it is required by other processes. I
don't think it is a problem to use memory if it is available if it
will be released when it is required elsewhere (on the opposite it was
a little expensive, so it would be a shame if it was not used at all!)
But still I find the find the MariaDB 10.1 number for memory use so
much *off* as compared to comparable servers, that I think I should
mention the observation here. IMO it should be understood **why** it
happens and next it can be decided **if** a fix is necessary or not.
