Description Fabio Bonelli 2006-06-08 09:13:58 UTC 
Totem from CVS, GStreamer 0.10.6:

- Start totem:
6436 fabio     16   0 58136  19m  11m S  8.9  5.2   0:03.58 totem

- Play a video:
6436 fabio     15   0  162m  65m  35m S 30.3 17.5   0:11.99 totem

- Wait for the video to loop or press Next
6436 fabio     15   0  193m  89m  57m S 29.6 23.7   0:31.94 totem

- Next again
6436 fabio     15   0  215m 110m  79m S 30.5 29.4   0:43.25 totem

- Again
6436 fabio     15   0  237m 132m 101m S 28.9 35.1   0:54.58 totem

And so on. The same thing happens also when you play another file by double-clicking or drag and dropping within nautilus.

And debugging output doesn't say much.

$ totem --debug

Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2006-06-12 14:29:58 UTC 
With current CVS of core/base (=0.10.8) I can't reproduce the increase in RES and SHR memory, but VIRT indeed does increase steadily (and sometimes rapidly).


When filesrc is used for local files (which is the case with core >= 0.10.7 I believe) it also appears the file descriptors for the previous files are never closed, which indicates a buffer refcounting problem somewhere, esp. since that effect doesn't occur with gnomevfssrc (so the fd is kept open because there's still an mmap'ed buffer alive).

VIRT memory usage can also be made to go up quite a bit when seeking.
