The more I look into this the more I get the impression the normal python tools are not helping, neither objgraph nor meliae give good hints.
Meliae is really awsome, and yet: >>> om_startup.summarize() Total 423202 objects, 394 types, Total size = 41.9MiB (43896060 bytes) >>> om_after_three_installs.summarize() Total 424451 objects, 414 types, Total size = 42.0MiB (44088191 bytes) Witht the object counts in the details looking about the same. This indicates it might be a issue in the C code either pygi, xapian or python-apt. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1003466 Title: Software Center Memory/Processor bug To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1003466/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
