Probably too high memory usage #478

Open tsujan opened 3 years ago

tsujan commented 3 years ago

OS: Linux → Manjaro, Arch Linux Desktop Manager: LXQt and KDE (Plasma, X11 sesssion) alike Birdtray version: > 1.9.0 (the git version of a month ago or so but happened with previous versions too) Thunderbird version: 78.12.0 (but happened with all previous versions too) Birdtray origin: Made installable package from the source (with makepkg) Qt version: 5.15.2

Description

After 4-5 days of continuous usage, the memory usage of Birdtray can be more than that of Thunderbird and still growing. Now, it's 265 MiB, while Thunderbird uses 250 MiB.

Expected behavior

I'm not sure if this is a bug but I think the memory usage is too high.

To Reproduce

It should be enough to use Birdtray continuously, for a few days (unless there's a hidden factor here).

I am experiencing similar behavior. Should BT be using the same amount of memory as the main TB process? I see 2 TB processes of roughly equal memory footprint when BT is running.

There really seems to be some memory issue. Running on version 1.11.4 I recently caught it taking 10,5GiB of memory and still going up. As my system was hanging itself I've only been able to take a screenshot when it was being killed, hence the screenshot stating 10,0GiB. i

I auto-start Thunderbird when Birdtray starts, which results in only seeing Birdtray in my system monitor, not Thunderbird so I assume this memory is for both. However, if I start Thunderbird normally it uses around 500MiB, and stays like that all day.
