I see next columns in top: VIRT, RES, SHR and %MEM. My guide is %MEM,
that with moc raises constantly during play. Same occurs with the other
columns.
But that is not all. In many situations I have put moc playing music
in computer while I simply listen. Only active process was moc in a
computer with 1Gb of memory. After two or three hours of music, when I
try to use again computer, I feel that it works bloatly, like if it was
swaping from virtual memory. That is extrange in a machine that only
has a console (without X Window) running moc, isn't it?
In time that I have written this message, moc is playing a flac file
from Schubert 9ª symphony. Only 2º movement, 15 minutes, and these are
columns from top:
RES SHR %MEM
57m 54m 5.8
When music began, %MEM was 0.5. Is that normal?
Thank you for your interest, and excuse my poor english.
