There's probably something weird going on here, because Banshee's memory usage isn't supposed to be affected (much) by collection size. Could you post the output of "banshee --debug" when you launch it? Also, post the output of "ps -C banshee-1 -o rsz=,command=", please. -- Kind regards, Loong Jin -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/711843 Title: Banshee uses far too much RAM -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
