Here's a snapshot from top. Is it just me, or is this a HUGE amount of memory. I've only got one instance of evo started, so why the massive hit to RAM? Why six processes? Oh, don't get me wrong, I LOVE THIS
No, it's not just you. It's evolution using POSIX threads to achieve multitasking in a single process. POSIX threads are implemented using clone() call and most utilities like top and ps can't handle or display process threads right. Actually it's just one process with a few threads and it actually does not consume that much memory. -- Enver ALTIN (a.k.a. skyblue) - Software developer, generic solvent. http://enver.casdb.com/ - mailto: ealtin at casdb dot com http://enver.casdb.com/CV.html - Just me, myself and I.
