 Re: Digikam & xorg heavy cpu load
Thanks. Indeed it is, and it was far too late here,  Take your time.
Following a look at your memory stats, some basic s/w details may yet be useful as James requested.
@jdmcdaniel3: James, my apologies to you. In the light of day, my comment was too blunt and "That's just repetition!" was unnecessary.

Re: Digikam & xorg heavy cpu load
OK, i have a hanger. Was there a shell command for listing installed programs and version of linux?
I am running OpenSuse 11.3 64bit. KDE desktop 4.4.4
This is before starting digikam.

What i am surprised is that my memory is taken almost completely. Is there a reason for that? That seems to be even without digikam. Very strange.
Xorg pings between 90% and also down to 40% during the process.

Re: Digikam & xorg heavy cpu load
Thanks. Memory is taken, and your cached (disk) looks high with the stats initially at 2.5GB rising to 2.9GB. That is 63% rising to 73% of total memory (4GB). Whereas mine is at 23% of total memory (3GB). Thats on a fully updated default desktop install of 11.3 64bit with KDE 4.4.4. Can I assume you are fully updated from official update repo?
Can you report the stats immediately after a clean reboot, i.e. before starting apps like kopete etc? You can then start firefox and skype to see if there is any difference for overall memory and cached, and report if significant.

Re: Digikam & xorg heavy cpu load
Sure thing.
But i have to admit that it confuses me somewhat. I don't remember that i changed the system in any way. If i have digikam working and the workload gets full, the system is getting really slow. Can not even browse anymore. And that with 4GB of ram.
Anyhow, at the next reboot i post the mem with pos again. I will also post my repos.

 Re: Digikam & xorg heavy cpu load
So let me talk about what I have seen on my machine before. I discovered that running any program that scans your disk will increase the cache size and reduce free memory, but cache memory can be reassigned and is not used in the normal sense and speeds up finds and loads on new programs.
Of course any loaded and running program uses real memory and when real memory gets low, swap memory is sued. Once swap memory used, your system can start to grind to super slow speed because disk memory is way slower than real memory. When I was using Nepomuk on purpose and after I found Tracker loaded, by I don't know who, my cache memory started going up until I had no free memory. The moment I loaded anything serious, swap would start to turn on and I have 8 GB of main memory, twice what you have loaded. Now here is what I have free right now and how much is being used:
Code:
james@LinuxUser:~/Downloads> free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 8194192 2488736 5705456 0 363548 1523604
-/+ buffers/cache: 601584 7592608
Swap: 2104476 0 2104476
I have more free memory than you have total memory and my system has been running for over 24 hours since my last reboot. You say that these program are not loaded or running, but something seems to be using disk caches before you start up Digikam. Just what it might be I do not know, but heavy disk reads to start to fill up your cache memory, but which suggests what else is running? You can see what is running in the System Monitor, but nothing is jumping out at me in the list.
Thank You,
