It's because that's not the normal amount of RAM that process uses usually. Normally it's around 50MBs but for some reason I cannot pinpoint it shoots up to over 300MBs. The notifier process in that case uses more RAM than the entirety of Plasma Shell or even the full Discover application. If there's a tutorial somewhere teaching how to debug memory usage I could try to get some more actionable debug information. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
