I ran into > 1 GB memory that caused swapping (due to useful programs using most memory) with the below version in Ubuntu 14.04. It's lasted for several minutes so far (total CPU time 30 minutes).
The idea that this is not a bug is ludicrous. It must be able to handle running into bad content – by ignoring it if necessary – and not balloon to such high memory use. ii tracker-extract 0.16.5-0ubuntu0.1 amd64 metadata database, indexer and search tool - metadata extractors -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538673 Title: tracker-extract seems to briefly consume 1.5GB memory and slow computer right down To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tracker/+bug/538673/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
