Memory usage HIGH exchange calendar
Last modified: 2005-02-07 05:21:43 UTC
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Select calendar using exchange account. 2. 3. Actual Results: It appears that the connector is loading way too much information from the exchange database, or there is a memory leak somewhere. My memory footprint grows from ~30-40 MB to ~1.1GB when I bring up the calendar. Coule this be a side-effect of having meeting that are recurring for LONG periods of time??? Expected Results: I would expect that the memory footprint would be MUCH smaller. Maybe we can read only the upcoming day or two or find a better compression of the data in the calendar so the footprint isn't as large. How often does this happen? Anytime you bring up the calendar with exchange. Additional Information:
Possible duplicate of bug#264403 ?
I poked around a bit, and found that when I deleted ~/.evolution/exchange/$account/personal/subfolders/Calendar/cache.ics The load time for the exchange calendar dropped to nearly nothing and the memory problem reported within went away. I wonder if the cache isn't cleared or something, and the program always appends to it? It looks like it might be good to clear that cache at invocation each time.
This sounds very similar to 64403 ... Looks like there is some memory leak happening when the account is actually migrated from 1.4 to 2.0 and the user tries to create a new appointment
Update to 2.0.3, if still this bug exist reopen this bug, fix for 70414 has fixed this bug
is this still a bug? i cannot tell from bug activity..
No, I am please with the results. I had to pick up the patch to e-cal-backend-exchange.c referenced in 13548, but I am pleased with the results now. Thanks, Patrick
This has now been fixed.
Based on reporter comment and the related memory leak bug is not reprodicible on 2.0.3 onwards, marking this bug as verified.
