/usr/lib/libdrm.so.2.0.0 has a 20 bit alignment requirement in its program header according to objdump -x. This causes a 1 MB mapping to be made even though the entire file size is only 31 KB. /usr/lib/libvorbis.so.0.3.1 is another offender causing a 1 MB mapping with a total file size of only 172 KB. /usr/lib/libXfixes.so.3.1.0 is using a meg mapping for a 21 kb lib /usr/lib/libXi.so.6.0.0 uses a meg for only 33k /usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.3 wastes an extra meg for an 89 KB lib You get the idea, there are a lot of them like this. If you see a "2**20" in the objdump of the file, it has this problem. -- Amd64 ubuntu build hogs memory due to badly built libs https://launchpad.net/bugs/24692 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
