Please describe the problem: some days ago I submited bug 353327. This is a dup of bug 348139 Last night i left my notebook with beagled-helper using 100% of the cpu. Today (24 hours later) this is the result of 'top'. Last night the numbers where about 128 MB top - 19:36:06 up 1 day, 32 min, 2 users, load average: 1.69, 1.73, 1.54 Tasks: 95 total, 3 running, 92 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 96.3%us, 3.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.3%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 7142 alejo 15 0 847m 534m 509m S 62.0 109.5 1093:39 beagled-helper 14406 alejo 17 0 9872 6260 1608 R 10.9 1.3 0:00.33 spamassassin 4181 root 16 0 181m 34m 8772 R 9.3 7.1 11:32.89 Xorg 5739 alejo 15 0 34776 11m 8196 S 7.3 2.4 1:23.46 gnome-terminal 4673 alejo 15 0 316m 103m 19m S 7.0 21.2 30:04.40 firefox-bin 4287 alejo 15 0 16960 8568 6536 S 2.0 1.7 0:17.54 metacity 6300 alejo 16 0 2232 1056 828 R 0.7 0.2 4:04.14 top 4335 alejo 16 0 24164 10m 8200 S 0.3 2.2 1:41.91 wnck-applet 11778 alejo 15 0 129m 28m 14m S 0.3 5.8 0:58.35 evolution-2.6 1 root 15 0 1936 576 548 S 0.0 0.1 0:01.72 init 2 root RT 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 migration/0 3 root 34 19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.36 ksoftirqd/0 4 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.12 events/0 5 root 10 -5 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 khelper Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Created attachment 71940 [details] this are the logs since yesterday
I see this in the logs: 060829 1906219899 04325 Beagle ERROR EX: Unable to start EvolutionDataServer backend: Unable to find or open libraries: 060829 1906219899 04325 Beagle ERROR EX: System.DllNotFoundException: libecal-1.2.so.3 Probably EDS is not properly installed ? beagled is not able to find libecal-1.2.so.3 Can you disable EDS backend and check if there is any leak ?
Ok. i am going to remove the beagle-backend-evolution i have libecal-1.2.so.6 but not .3 Now i'll wait until tomorrow to see if the leak is present
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 7142 alejo 15 0 847m 534m 509m S 62.0 109.5 1093:39 beagled-helper First, VIRT isn't a good indication of the memory being used. RES is closer, but the odd thing is that SHR is also a huge amount. Generally, you can find out real memory usage by doing RES - SHR which equals in this case 25 megs. Bizzare. Running pmap on the process and attaching the output might be helpful.
Memory usage aside, it is taking forever on javascript files, which makes it look like a dup of bug 348139. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 348139 ***
