This Yast Model consumes vast system resources and 10% mac CPU and as Much Physical RAM as it want to constrict the driver database. Auto detection took over 2 Minutes. Once the scanner Model is auto found I edited the selection to ensure the most appropriate selection - again System Resources were swallowed up like nothing on earth. This process took over 2 Minutes Once the List of Drivers were displayed I entered a search string which again started to devour more resources again taking over two minutes. Once Again selecting the "Show Complete List" took over 3 mins and consumed more resources. My PC is a Processor (CPU): AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ Speed: 2,410.96 MHz Cores: 2 with Total memory (RAM): 1.7 GB Free memory: 696.9 MB (+ 412.2 MB Caches) Free swap: 10.0 GB The Free memory amount started at 980MB and this small yast program has reduced it to a current 696.9MB and is dropping all the time Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Auto detect any USB Scanner and monitor sysinfo in Konqueror as above 2. 3. Actual Results: Totally unacceptable and unrestrained use of system resources and inordinate wait times - we must and can do much better with this module! Expected Results: I am sure we dont need 1 Yast module to be 1 able to access seemingly unrestricted resources and I am sure we can either index the data base better to cut down searches and possibly consider using a bubble sort rather than straight index sort. The PC has been processing "Show complete List for over 5 minutes now and available RAM has dropped to 580MB and going down -- 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.
