Many xfce4 components use a lot of memory. Up to the point where multiple of them use up to 1.5 GB each.
My system has 32 GB Ram. 4 GB of it are reserved for the graphics. Sure I use multiple browsers and many tabs, but 32 GB that are almost fully utilized ?
I have observed this for months. (no logs, manually in task manager). Finally I noticed this:
- xfce4-panel 1.2 GB
- xfce libwearther.so 1.2 GB (2 times, because it is running 2 times)
- xfce libsystemload.so 1.2GB
- xfce libsystray.so 1.2 GB Unfortunately I didn't take a screenshot there, but I waited a bit and took one when it wasn't quite sooo bad, but still. That's too much or (picture attached) ?
My system almost always runs through. The memory consumption of these XFCE files fluctuates. So it decreases in between. But I have no idea why. I can't find any connection.
If you want me to call any logs or something like that, I'll gladly do it.
