I have rebooted my system and it has gone from 60MB used by Cinnamon at boot to 222.6MB at approximately 3 hours uptime. Cinnamon has a normal desktop, a classic menu, task bar and system tray. Maybe it is time Cinnamon got a patch? I just can't stand KDE or Unity or GNOME3. I'll download the applet and check that out. Launch of the update manager did not have any obvious effect. Bluetooth being turned on did not have any obvious effect. So tentatively it would appear that there is something kicking in shortly after the desktop displays that is eating up 11-12 MB, a slow and gradual increase of around 1-200K per minute without any obvious event based cause, something kicking in around 5min or so that uses up about 1MB, and then there is an event based use of around 20MB when initiating a subsequent wireless connection that does not come back when closing the connection. Startup 73.8 quickly rising to 85 after 2-3 secs or so I turned bluetooth off and rebooted and took another series of measurements: (No searching for updates etc., just launch of the program.)Īt this point I realised that although I had turned off the bluetooth app, I had not actually turned bluetooth off. Memory rose from 105.6 to 106.7, and fell back again to 105.6 after around 20 seconds. This was the first time I had touched the keyboard after launching the monitor. Then I recorded 98.4 and 101.6 in the first 10 secs after turning the switch onįurther readings of 101.6, 101.7, 102.4 in the next 10 secsĪt this point I turned the hardware wireless switch off, memory remained stable at 105.1, so the memory used in the wireless connection setup was not returned Memory rose from 86.6 to 94.8 immediately Startup 73.3 (I launched the monitor by hand as quickly as I could after startup)įrom this point on I just recorded the running timeĪt this point I turned the hardware wireless switch on I did not touch the keyboard at all in the first set of measurements other than to launch the monitor, so there were no external events that should have been affecting Cinnamon at all. The desktop has been stripped down to a minimum to remove potential causes - a static background, no startup apps at all, no 3rd party applets, but I will admit to a custom theme -) There was no connectivity - no physical connections, no bluetooth applet, and wifi turned off in the computer by a hardware switch. The measurements below are done using a simple readout from the supplied system monitor. Here are some initial memory observations for this process. The Cinnamon process is growing in memory use over time.
