Package: mpg123
Version: 0.59q-2
Severity: wishlist
hello,
it would be better if mpg123 were built without the READ_MMAP define.
using mmap() causes much more cache pollution than read(), the kernel
is less eager to reclaim mmaped pages than data that is just in the
page cache.
the RSS of mpg123 grows pretty quickly and other apps start getting
swapped out. the effect is more pronounced with big mpeg files and/or
high bitrates.
here's what it looks like after a while of decoding a largish
mpeg stream. (i used mpg123 -s file.mpeg > /dev/null to accelerate the
process a bit)
Mem: 63356K av, 61720K used, 1636K free, 27228K shrd, 1928K buff
Swap: 307400K av, 44484K used, 262916K free 37288K cached

Hi,
mpg123 0.59r-10 is now (finally) in testing, so these bugs no longer
apply:
#57220: -DREAD_MMAP was removed in 0.59r-5.
#112240: -w/--wav was documented in 0.59r-7.
#121697: mpg123 moved to the FHS in 0.59r-1.
#124193: Ditto.
Cheers,
