High memory usage

[gmagic]

After app start-up i see 1Gb+ of ram usage.

[tim77]

In my case at startup app uses 72MB and keep growing to 500MB and more.

• Build: Flathub version;
• NVIDIA drivers.

[tim77]

After some observations i found that seems like 1.03GB is maximum limit and after this point it stops growing. So this doesn't look like memory leak. But this to much i believe for and would be nice to reduce somehow memory consumption.

Also happens to me. Memory usage went from around 150MB when started then
Resources net.nokyan.Resources 1.1.0 stable system

[nokyan]

Thank you all very much for the reports, I'll try to find out why that happens :)

[liz-desartiges]

I have noticed higher ram usage that what've been reported here : 1.73GB of ram used by ressources

[nokyan]

Just a quick update: I now know what seems to cause the leak and have opened a PR (#128) for it. Unfortunately I haven't yet found out how to get rid of it. I hope I'll figure something out before releasing 1.3.
If someone is knowledgeable about GTK and has an idea, please don't hesitate to tell me in the PR or here. :)

Potentially great news: I believe it's fixed now. Interestingly though, I probably fixed it on accident at some point and introduced another one with the right click context menus. In the memory-leak-fix branch I've removed the context menus again, which for me kept memory usage very much under control. I'd appreciate if someone could test it as well, I'll definitely run it over night tonight. :)

[outusuke]

It hasn't been fixed yet, I still see it consuming GB after being open for a while

[nokyan]

I've experienced increased memory consumption as well, but I frankly have not a single clue why that is.

[bbktsk]

Almost 4GB memory consumed after cca 20 hours. Version 1.5.0 from flatpak, Ubuntu 22.04 with regolith desktop, i3wm, intel integrated gfx, two 4k displays.

[nokyan]

I've changed some internal stuff regarding apps and processes, could you check out the appscontext-restructure branch? In my testing memory usage and leakage is reduced.

[jojo2357]

I'm definitely getting some reduction, however that is comparing the flatpak vers to the builder vers so not certain that it will be permanent

[bbktsk]

Can you please make the flakpak for that test branch available? My rust-fu is not strong enough to build it for myself, but I'll be happy to test.

[nokyan]

Just a heads-up: the branch is merged now so you can just test main.

@jojo2357
That's good to see! To my knowledge, if anything, the Builder version should perform worse as it isn't as optimized (by the compiler) as the Flatpak production version.

@bbktsk
I'll look into it but you shouldn't need any Rust to build the flatpak for yourself. In fact, it should be just three commands. :)

flatpak install org.gnome.Sdk//46 org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable//23.08 org.gnome.Platform//46 org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.llvm18//23.08
flatpak-builder --user flatpak_app build-aux/net.nokyan.Resources.Devel.json
flatpak-builder --run flatpak_app build-aux/net.nokyan.Resources.Devel.json resources

After 2 days on 1.6.0 im seeing 0.5GiB memory used. Progress for sure, but not solved.

Great to see, but I agree with you, not solved yet. I'll keep experimenting, though right now I'm out of ideas of what to try to be honest.

[JokerQyou]

Over 1.5GiB used over ~10 days with 1.6.0.

1.7.1, definitely not fixed. Also sometimes it does a crazy thing, consuming several gigs of video memory. But most of the time it's just gigs of ram. Easy to see just in one day. I have a memory view opened most of the time, and sometimes app list, sorted by ram usage. Ironically, I installed it to better manage memory usage of my system.

an example of high GPU memory usage (it will go to 3-5 gigs in a short while)
