I had problems with tvbrowser often causing high cpu load sporadically. It is caused by max memory not set high enough, so I opened /usr/share/java-config-2/launcher/launcher.bash in the editor and added the -Xmx4096M parameter to the last line. The machine has 16GiB RAM. This definitely fixes the problem. Please modify the launcher script so that tvbrowser can work without the garbage collector wreaking havoc all the time. I'm not sure how much memory is needed, in 2.7 256MiB has been the default according to the wiki, but I don't think this is valid in newer versions. Maybe 512MiB would be better or even enough, though I'm not sure. After using it for awhile (scrolling around etc.) RES quickly raises. Perhaps making that value optional so it can be configured in a file in /etc would be a good idea. Reproducible: Always
@Java if you are not interested in maintaining it, move it to maintainer needed. + + 30 May 2015; Johannes Huber <johu@gentoo.org> metadata.xml: + Remove myself as maintainer. +
This is no longer reproducible (tvbrowser-3.4.1.0). I am closing this bug.
