Cache processes informations #462

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Proposal

In the Process class, the return of the cmdline function is not cached. Is it 
possible to cache it ? Does a command line can change during the process 
execution ?

Thk in advance

Yes it can change (I also wasn't aware), see issue 331.
Perhaps we can investigate whether this is also true on Windows though.

Sorry, i did not see the issue 331. I understand why the cmdline is not cached. 
Netherless, I just try to see if i can reduce the CPU consumption of Glances 
(http://github.com/nicolargo/glances). Compare to stop, it take arround 10x CPU.

If you have any idea to reduce it...

Thk for your answer !

Sure I know glances (very nice tool).
What platform are you talking about? Linux?
If it takes too much I think it's fine if you cache the cmdline yourself.
After all it's not something which should change that often.
Same for uids, gids, terminal and possibly others.
You might decide to cache those metrics and, say, update them every 10 secs or 
something.

psutil has been migrated from Google Code to Github (see:

).
Please do NOT reply here but use this instead:
