Hi all, and thanks for reading ! I'm using Python 2.4.2 with an embedded platform (16MB RAM) running Linux 2.6.20. My main script use a thread for some reasons (more precisely a periodic timer within a separate module). While looking at the memory consumption, here's what i found :
PID USER STATUS RSS PPID %CPU %MEM COMMAND 171 root R 384 164 1.5 2.6 top 218 root R 4172 217 0.1 29.1 main_script.py 216 root S 4172 180 0.0 29.1 main_script.py 217 root S 4172 216 0.0 29.1 main_script.py When creating the thread, Python forks 2 times and thus consume me around 60% of RAM ! Is it a normal behaviour while using threads ??? It's very critical, am i missed something ? Thank U... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
