Description David Carlos Manuelda 2024-08-09 16:39:07 UTC
I don't know if it is maybe too early to notice this or maybe not the best place to do so, but I wanted to warn Gentoo developers to not stabilize this version (when that time comes) until the issue https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-system-monitor/-/issues/302 is fixed as it has severe memory leaks that should be addressed before.

Are you still hitting this with 47 version? If still the case, I would try to locally test with versions between 45 and 46, to try to find the commit causing this issue
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-system-monitor/-/blob/main/NEWS?ref_type=heads#L38

Thanks

I've ran a quick test with version 47 leaving it running for 2.5 hours with this result (according to htop) with the following RAM usages (total in a running system).

Total RAM usage after start: 3.66GB
Ram usage after 2.5h:        4.04GB
Ram usage after close:       3.66GB

While there are about 400MB in usage which seems too much I do not observe any major impact on memory leaks so I think this can be marked as fixed.

Thanks.
