Hi,
Is yum well known for growing to very large memory sizes? I just
ran
# yum whatprovides usbview
and the resulting process grew steadily in size until it reached
188MB resident size. While it was growing it was also consuming
99% CPU. Upon reaching its peak at 188MB, its memory usage dropped
dramatically and so did its CPU usage. It's now a couple of hours
on, and the command hasn't returned!
This is on a system with 320MB RAM and about 600MB swap.
Paul.
