xconsole eats up RAM (a LOT)
I am running unstable, kernel 2.2.17, I noticed that sometimexconsole
eats up about 50% of memory as reported by top. it usually happens
afterthere have been a LOT of messages, but messages stopped coming few
hours ago and the memory usage by xconsole did not go down.
any ideas? is that a bug of xconsole?
also notice that it used a lot of CPU cycles (not at the snapshot time
but overall, in TIME column)
4:56pm up 4 days, 14:40, 5 users, load average: 0.45, 0.60, 0.39
72 processes: 70 sleeping, 2 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 9.7% user, 7.1% system, 0.0% nice, 83.2% idle
Mem: 79692K av, 77880K used, 1812K free, 51100K shrd, 1652K buff
Swap: 243104K av, 220584K used, 22520K free 49976K
