[Bug 230789] New: zmd should not run with highest priority
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230789 Summary: zmd should not run with highest priority Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Zenworks AssignedTo: zlm-code10-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: richard.bos@xs4all.nl QAContact: sarifulla@novell.com According 'top' zmd run with '19' priority (nice value -19/-20), this resulted in a very bad performance of my 450Mhz, 450MB pentium 3 system. Top showed load average of around 12. After removing involved zmd packages the load average is now back to around 1, which makes the system normal to work with. So: don't install zmd by default, or if t really must be installed (which I don't think) have it run with the same priority as most other processes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

It makes me feel like I'm running an old 386 system on 12MB RAM. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230789 ------- Comment #2 from bryce1@obviously.com 2007-03-28 12:09 MST ------- Zmd is constantly hammering my system. It runs for hours, gobbling up performance. Very typical at idle is: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 6783 root 25 0 68108 31m 7052 R 87.2 4.1 0:06.28 parse-metadata 4210 bryce 15 0 86224 32m 10m S 3.7 4.3 1:43.50 beagled This really impacts performance, even on a reasonably powerful machine. It really sucks. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
