Re: [orca-list] Orca becomes unresponsive periodically on Linux Mint 9

[Trevor Saunders <trev saunders gmail com>]

HI,

what about kill -HUP speech-dispatcher? this will reload modules but
not restart it.  I'm suspicious of mint-update at this point, I'd try
killing it and seeing if your problem goes away.  If you try this make
sure it doesn't get restarted immediately.  THe simplest way to do
this is probably killall -9 mint-update I think its called then ps -e
| grep mint-update if it shows up then you'll have to poke mint into
stopping it, or just remove it with apt.
I see that you'r running at 200% of what 1 cpu can do, That seems
like a lot for thunderbird pidgin, and not much else.  While its
generally suprising that at-spi is using that much memory its not
terribly suprising that different processes are using more memory and
or processor time.
