Excessive usage of memory by include_server.py #126

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
System: Ubuntu 11.10 64-bits (yeah I know, it's old, but currently I can't 
update)
Distcc version: 3.1, from Ubuntu packages
GCC version: 4.6.1, from Ubuntu packages
Task: Trying to build the ITK library (http://www.itk.org/)

What went wrong: While compiling the ITK library, which takes quite some times 
to build when tests are being built (~40min on a 24-cores cluster), the 
include_server.py process does not seems to free lots of memory. In order to 
allow my build process to finish without running out of memory and swap, I have 
to interrupt it 3 of 4 times, when include_server.py starts using more than 1GB 
of memory.
