Hi, Just posting this to give an example for Netscape's still unbelievable wasting of memory: I use MDK 8.0 with Netscape 4.77 as browser. My machine got 256M of physical ram and a swap partition of 300M. Now I had Netscape running for 2 days because i kept working on several translations of MandrakeForum articles. The last one was a piece by Civileme about what gets testet by Mandrake Q&A. I took some breaks in between and in the meantime I read and wrote some mails with Mutt and there was just one console window open and xosview running. All of this took place on KDE. At the end my harddisk startet to run frequently and xosview showed that it startet swapping out. In the end I had a memory assessment of 240M physical ram (just about 10% of it that was cache) and more than 280M of swap space was in use. Reaction of the system startet to be sluggish. Now I sent the finished translation up to the Forum and when I closed Netscape xosview showed a memory occupation of 73M of ram and 52 of swap! That means Netscape has taken more than 380M of memory! A similar thing happened when I used to work with tkpppoe, a front end for pppoe for my DSL connention. This tkpppoe works with wish and when I saw xosview showing memory useage of more than 400M (ram + swap) I looked at top and top showed wish using more than 260M of memory. As soon as I exited tkpppoe those 260M were immediately released. How come wish is taking so much memory? wobo -- GPG-Fingerprint: FE5A 0891 7027 8D1B 4E3F 73C1 AD9B D732 A698 82EE For Public Key mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: GPG-Request ------------------------------------------------------------------- ISDN4LINUX-FAQ -- Deutsch: http://www.wolf-b.de/i4l/i4lfaq-de.html
