lightread seems to have a memory problem

[Guido Vettoretti]

After leaving the program running on the desktop for a couple of days the program consumes a lot of memory. The residence memory showed 7 GB after leaving it running for the weekend.

5 hours of running time, 6 GB of RAM consumed. Please fix it ASAP.......

Can you please confirm if you still face this issue in Lightread 1.2.2?

[Guido Vettoretti (2guido)]

I recently tried 1.2.2 but I haven't left it running for any long periods
of time. I'll let it sit running on my desktop for a few days and get
back to you.
I think I noticed that it was still using quite a bit of memory.

Maybe it's due to the large number of feeds that I have in my google reader
account.

Anyway, It's a nice linux RSS reader and you should keep improving it.

Also when you report the memory usage, please also include how much feeds you have subscribed to. This might help us to decide how to tackle the issue with large number of feeds. I personally have subscribed to like 10 rss feeds so don't face this issue.

Hi,

I only let lightread run for a couple of hours and the memory usage seems
to be climbing. I'm noticing a lot of swap activity when lightread is
running, so it seems to be slowing down my system.

I guess the virtual memory usage doesn't matter , but it is large and
climbing. It started at 10Gb and climbed to 16.3 Gb. The resident memory
has gone from 1Gb to 2.2Gb in a couple of hours.

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 17947
guido 20 0 16.3g 2.2g 14m S 0 19.0 5:03.38 lightread

I've had to stop it, as it seems to be interfering with my system
operation. I use a lot of memory for other programs.

I have about 150 RSS feeds on my google account.

Guido.
