[Bug 569711] Re: The system is very slow. The memory is not freed after closing a program. (-pae)
After 40 minutes the computer is very slow. I have opened only Firefox and Terminal.
This Polkitd is taking 300MB of memory...and highest CPU.
The commands:
vasia@vasia-laptop:~$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/gem_objects
2299 objects
77660160 object bytes
0 pinned
0 pin bytes
0 gtt bytes
0 gtt total
vasia@vasia-laptop:~$ pid=`pidof X` ; for t in `seq 1 10`; do eog /usr/share/backgrounds ; echo `grep "object bytes" /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/gem_objects` `ps ocomm,vsz,rss $pid |grep X`; done

vasia@vasia-laptop:~$ sync
vasia@vasia-laptop:~$ sudo sh -c "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"
#here the memory cache is not freed!
I've killed polkitd and the memory was freed:
ps -e | grep polkitd
But the memory is slow filling up although I don't open other
applications!
Now I will close firefox to see if the memory is freed!
