Re: [Valgrind-users] Subject: Valgrind Performance Issues with Legacy Apps on ARM64

[Tech i. <tec...@gm...>]

Dear Valgrind Support Team,

We are debugging memory leaks in our legacy 32-bit multithreaded
applications on ARM64-bit processors, but we're facing performance issues
with Valgrind:

   - *High CPU Usage*: Valgrind causes the application to use 100% CPU,
   disrupting other system processes.
   - *Application Crash*: After 9-10 minutes, the application crashes, and
   top shows no activity.
   - *No Improvement with Nice Value*: Adjusting the nice value to 10 did
   not alleviate the issue.
    We seek advice on optimizing Valgrind's performance or alternative
   debugging methods under these conditions.

Thank you for your help.
