I just tried out smart and find it more able than YaST at upgrading the additional repositories, but I think it might be leaking memory. I at least find it hard to believe it actually needs all those 170 Mb of memory. It is really slowing down my laptop which only has 384 Mb available. Anyone else seeing this? -- Guðlaugur Jóhannesson http://www.hi.is/~gudlaugu Phone: +354 849 8405

I'll try to do some memory benchmarks.
Actually it loads the whole cache (including repository cache information) into memory for optimum
speed.
You could also disable that cache and see whether it improves the memory consumption (I strongly
assume so).
Please read here for further information:

(and please let us know about the results ;))
cheers

So the dependency calculations are faster

How do I disable the cache? is it a good idea?

This one talks about psyco which I disabled, but it only reduced the memory consumption to about 140 Mb which was not really worth it because the program ran slower. I guess I will just have to accept it that smart needs a large brain. Thanks anyhow for the tip -- Guðlaugur Jóhannesson http://www.hi.is/~gudlaugu Phone: +354 849 8405
