The worst offender this moment is Firefox (Thunderbird is closed now). But the next is clamd (clamav, antivirus mail scanner daemon)! It is using more than LibreOffice!
How can that be? It is iddle at the moment, doing nothing.
The signature databases take up the space. I have a few instances running, all having about 500M resident. (your's takes up a lot more in total, but I'm running a custom-written daemon).
What can be done to reduce its footprint?
Cut down on the databases. Are you using any 3rd party databases (sanesecurity for instance) ?
Instead of the daemon, I could call it from amavis, one process per mail. But this impacts scan speed. Could the daemon be started "on demand", and be killed a minute after the last email goes through?
Perhaps, but you're looking to save 500Mb on a machine with 8Gb? Looking at your 'top' display, where does the rest of those 7Gb go? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
