Package: xulrunner-1.9.1
Version: 1.9.1.16-11
Followup-For: Bug #640331
Dear Maintainer,
I've made a simple test of Iceweasel, since I suspected it has a memory leak:
1) Restarted iceweasel.
2) Restored a session such that two tabs were open:
a) a "restore session" tab
b) http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2076798
3) Registered the memory use of "xulrunner-stub" using top:
Thu Dec 29 06:12:47 2011:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
13138 sparre 20 0 296m 68m 26m S 0.0 14.0 0:11.73 xulrunner-stub
4) Left Iceweasel (almost on it own) for a few hours. (In reality I have had
3 different pages open in a 3rd tab.)
5) Registered the memory use of "xulrunner-stub" using top once again:
Thu Dec 29 09:28:58 2011:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
13138 sparre 20 0 317m 59m 15m S 0.3 12.1 2:43.90 xulrunner-stub
6) This indicates that Iceweasel (xulrunner-stub) leaks memory at a rate of
about 8.4 Mb/hour. Since I prefer to leave my browser running for weeks
at a time, this is not really acceptable. And even if it was, it
indicates a programming error, which might be used for an attack against
my system.
Kind regards,
Jacob Sparre Andersen
