Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tracker
In normal operation of computer, very occasionally computer suddenly
slows right down for about 45 seconds - mousepointer is very slow to
respond to movement, and windows are too slow to respond to clicks.
This has been hard to identify the cause because the computer is so slow
to respond it's hard to get system monitor opened to see the offending
process. Anyway I've finally managed to view system-monitor within the
45 seconds, and it seems to be "tracker-extract" program that is
responsible, that was consuming over 1.5GB of RAM on my machine. It was
hard to see though because the 45 seconds finished almost as soon as I'd
viewed it, so it very quickly disappeared from the top of the process
list when ranked by memory usage.
So is "tracker-extract" the offending process? Can it be made a little
less hungry of Memory (+ CPU) please?
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) 64 bit version on a 2.9GB machine.
