Hi all,
I do not know if I am having alucinations, but it's possible that in some subtle way kernel vm affects memory footprint of applications? I am running gnome (same version) till 2.2.5, and never saw this:
(0)pern:~/worktmp/asimov% free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 63188 61584 1604 27328 1308 15744 -/+ buffers/cache: 44532 18656 Swap: 128484 83900 44584 (0)pern:~/worktmp/asimov% uptime 12:03pm up 3 days, 37 min, 7 users, load average: 0.02, 0.03, 0.00 (0)pern:~/worktmp/asimov% ps auxmt PID TTY MAJFLT MINFLT TRS DRS SIZE SWAP RSS SHRD LIB DT COMMAND 13727 1 40424 99614 248 12116 61784 49420 12364 696 0 2917 (enlightenment)
System is responsive and ok, but I am quite preoccupied for when the swap will be filled... I am thinking to a change in the kernel that triggers very bad some leakage in gnome-libs. I am quite positive that it is the first time my system is using more than a few MBytes of swap.
