Memory problem
On my PowerBook (2.6.9-powerpc kernel), top says:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
12457 lefevre 16 0 168m 64m 45m S 0.0 25.6 114:31.11 mozilla-bin
12458 lefevre 16 0 168m 64m 45m S 0.0 25.6 0:00.21 mozilla-bin
12459 lefevre 16 0 168m 64m 45m S 0.0 25.6 0:12.63 mozilla-bin
12461 lefevre 16 0 168m 64m 45m S 0.0 25.6 0:25.27 mozilla-bin
1059 lefevre 16 0 168m 64m 45m S 0.0 25.6 0:00.03 mozilla-bin
whereas on x86, I get only one instance of mozilla-bin (Mozilla is
compiled using the same .mozconfig). How can I fix that?
Also, my machine keeps on swapping very often (contrary to x86,
even with 128 MB RAM); top says:
Mem: 256100k total, 252596k used, 3504k free, 7028k buffers
Swap: 524280k total, 279740k used, 244540k free, 47852k cached
but I don't know why so much memory is used. Are there some tools
to know what processes use memory and so on (gmemusage seems to be
broken on the PowerPC, perhaps due to the reason explained in the
TODO file)?
