[Cscmail-devel] X takes a lot of memory when I launch cscmail

From: nroult <nr...@ea...> - 2000-08-08 12:58:39

Hi guys,
I'm actually looking for a good email client and cscmail seems to math my needs
!
BUT, I have a big problem with it. When I launch it and when I use it, it makes
the process X to use a huge amount of memory ( about 300 Mbytes !!! ). And of
course, I don't have 300 Mbytes !!!
If anyone has an idea, it would be very helpful.
I install cscmail ( version 1.6.1-1 ) with the perl installer available on the
cscmail.net site. No problems were encountered durin the install
Thanks in advance
Rgds

Well, herm.. I am not sure what to say about this... With CSCMail 1.7.8
top shows X using 48 megs of ram.  CSCMail is using 17megs.  Granted,
this is more than Ideal, but such is the way of Perl and gnome-perl...
(One of the many reasons I am switching to C... cscmail in C uses approx
2 megs of ram.)

Anyway, this is after CSCMail has been running for over 24 hours
continuously checking my e-mail and so forth... So... If you are seeing X
memory usage jump to 300 megs when you launch CSCMail, something must be
wrong with your install... What exactly are your system specs, including
OS/Distro version, Gtk+ version, Perl version, etc...?

Thanks Steven
My cscmail version is only 1.6.1-1 ( installed withe the perl installer
available on the cscmail.net site, with the RPM pacakge )
I thought it was the latest version, where did you get the version 1.7.8 ?
I know that the C version is actually on test, but is it possible to have it ,
and where ? What are the known bugs ?
My Linux distribution is the latest Mandrake ( 7.1 ). 
Perl version : 5.600-4
GTK + Version : 1.2.7-4
Thanks for your help
Nicolas

In fact, after different tests, everything seems to be OK with the user root !
But, as soon as I use another user, the server X takes a huge amount of memory !
Thanks in advcance if you have any idea that could help

As a second followup... X without anything running (one Eterm and Top)
uses 40 megs of Ram on my system.  Running CSCMail causes X to use 43
megs of ram, and CSCMail takes up 15 megs.  Opening this second window
(the Compose Message window) boosts X to 45 megs of ram used, and CSCMail
is using 16megs ...
