Kmix Memory Usage

[hanskuhn]

Hi all,

This is more post-post-installation, but the two previous posts relating to this topic were from this forum too, so here goes.

I was looking at my memory usage while tuning Apache, and noticed Kmix using a huge amount of swap memory - 584mb according to top. I quit and restarted Kmix and it went straight back to the same usage.

So is this how much Kmix should be expected to use or is something wrong?

I found two posts covering Kmix memory usage, but they seemed to related to a different issue where Kmix was also causing high cpu usage:

I've attached a top screengrab.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers
Hans

Re: Kmix Memory Usage

Thanks for the info - I get a similar report using the kde system monitor.

Just to prove that one should always RTFM, I Googled a bit on top's swap field and it turns out this does not actually represent the true amount of memory swapped out to disk.
This was a helpful article:

So I'm going to find a different tool to report memory usage from cli - any suggestions?

Thanks

hanskuhn,
I checked top on my system and posted the results below... Looks similar.

Maybe try the command sar -B command for swap?

ubuntuku, what did you use to capture that screen vid? It's pretty cool!

. . . try the command sar -B command for swap?

Hmm, that command doesn't exist on my system. Nice link, by the way - thanks.
