The problem for me seemed to have been caused by having a single very large PDF on my Desktop. Even after stopping hud-service from executing I noticed that nautilus was consistently using 15% of one CPU core, but as soon as I moved that PDF somewhere else the problem went away. I've now allowed hud-service to run again, rebooted, and things appear to be working nicely again.
Observations: - Why is generating the preview icon for a large PDF so costly? Surely only the first page should be read and used for that purpose? - Surely these preview icons should be cached? - I think even if generating the preview icon is expected to be costly, there is a bug here as there is definitely a memory leak + the CPU usage stayed consistently high for hours. Surely the process should finish and then the CPU usage should drop away again? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987060 Title: massive memory leak in unity-panel-service and hud-service when invoking the hud on Firefox profiles with large amounts of bookmarks LTS 12.04 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hud/+bug/987060/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
