Re: memory process use is 10M is that normal?mlml

Hi Mike,

please keep in mind that you see the whole memory consumption, regardless if it is shared memory or not. The shadow process for a client (wich keep memory for all connections actually open from this maschine) uses different memory areas in different modes. Maybe you see a lot of shared memory, which counts only once over all processes but can be seen when looking at each of these processes

A closer look at memory consumption can be made with glance or gpm. An example:

  TEXT		shared	RSS=7.5MB	VSS=9.4MB
  DATA		priv	RSS=2.6MB	VSS=3.9MB
  MEMMAP	priv	RSS=8kB	VSS=8kB
  MEMMAP	priv	RSS=12kB	VSS=12kB
  MEMMAP	priv	RSS=0kB	VSS=12kB
  MEMMAP	priv	RSS=0kB	VSS=4kB
  MEMMAP	priv	RSS=8kB	VSS=8kB
  MEMMAP	priv	RSS=8kB	VSS=8kB
  STACK	priv	RSS=52kB	VSS=60kB
  LIBTXT	shared	RSS=60kB	VSS=60kB
  SHMEM	shared	RSS=204MB	VSS=204MB
  SHMEM	shared	RSS=317MB	VSS=317MB

Tthis process uses more then 500MB!!!
But it only uses the memory DATA,STACK and MEMMAP, nearly 2.7MB, once. The rest is shared memory.

i hope this explains what happened.
