Indeed, and that too can be indicative of a memory leak. Yes, what matters is the working set, but even that may result in paging. I admit there are some applications that might want to use that 1/4 of a terabyte virtual memory, some photo editing for example, but common use, email, web browsing, regular editing shouldn't. Its not as if you are composing a coffee table book with double A3 page spreads. Or are you? In this instance, the 'baloo_file' there isn't much CPU activity. It may be that it is running in some CPU-limited framework. If something like this really freaks you out then there us always the possibility of starting it under a ULIMIT-ed shell (see man bashbuiltins) So go back to the 'top' command and see what is /really/ consuming resources, what is thrashing, what is leaking memory. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
