high memory usage on raspbian
#1
Hey guys, I noticed after I upgraded to Kodi sometimes the system gets really slow. So i check top and looks like kodi is using a lot of memory and the system is swapping like crazy. Here's my top output:
Code:
top - 21:40:53 up 20:29,  1 user,  load average: 0.78, 1.87, 1.61
Tasks:  79 total,   1 running,  78 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S  %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND

24753 pi        20   0  4684 1060  668 R   1.6  0.3   0:01.67 top

As you can see, kodi is using about 86% of RAM at the point. I think sometimes it jumps to 93+%. One suspicious plugin is pulsar which uses bittorrent for streaming. But I'm not sure of it tho. Anybody having the same issue or have ideas on how to debug?
Thx!

Had you been using pulsar since the last reboot?
There appears to be memory leak which could explain what you are seeing.
