    [KDE] halabaloo

    I have been checking my memory usage lately. At some point I noticed after using Firefox, obviously there's a memory jump, but after quitting Firefox, memory didn't seem to recover. Using neon, it does.

    Further checking memory usage, I found
    Code:
    baloo_file
    to be at the top of the list:
    Code:
    1227 268767064 baloo_file
    3419 34309896 WebExtensions
    1222 3300736 kwin_x11
    3320 3074916 firefox

    1282 1336820 pulseaudio
    3890 1298636 dolphin
    balooctrl disable, Fixed it.

    Then I found this comment on KDE Community:
    Baloo is the file indexing and file search framework for KDE Plasma, with a focus on providing a very small memory footprint along with with extremely fast searching.
    Not sure what their idea of a small footprint is, but its running(or was) at the top of the memory list.

    Any ideas comments?

    Usually, baloo runs like that until it's done indexing then it should settle down:

    Code:
    [FONT=monospace][COLOR=#54FF54][B]stuart@office[/B][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]:[/COLOR][COLOR=#54FFFF][B]~[/B][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]$ ps -o pid,user,%mem,command ax | sort -b -k3 -r |grep baloo[/COLOR]
    21149 stuart    0.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/[COLOR=#FF5454][B]baloo[/B][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]runner[/COLOR]
    23657 stuart    0.1 /usr/bin/[COLOR=#FF5454][B]baloo[/B][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]_file[/COLOR]
     2705 stuart    0.0 grep --color=auto [COLOR=#FF5454][B]baloo[/B][/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#000000][/COLOR]
    [/FONT]

      Thanks. I'll wait on it then, and see what develops.

        Nothing wrong with turning it off. If you don't need a file index, then why have it?
