<pre id="comment_text_35">Anything large (say e.g. Python) waking up on the background will also be an<br>issue. You can check top (or strace) now and then to see whether something<br>does stuff on the background (even 1%) although you haven't specifically<br>
requested it to do anything. If it is, please file a bug.<br></pre></blockquote><div>I've had a look at top over ssh connection and seen <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">/usr/bin/pulseaudio --system --high-priority</span> constantly floating around 1-3% of CPU time. Needless to say, device was lying on the desk next to me, doing nothing, not to mention anything media-related. I did <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">killall media-player</span> but that didn't help and pulseaudio was still working out.<br>
<br>However I've been listening to music earlier in the morning, took couple of calls etx. Then later in the day I've opened a camera to take a picture, which threw weird "Another application is using audio" message at me few times (while no app that I was aware of was running in the background). Strange.<br>
<br>I will look closer to this issue and file appropriate bugzilla entry when I get some concrete observations.<br> <br></div><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">
<pre id="comment_text_35">Closing all browser windows occasionally is also a good idea. Www-pages &<br>Flashplayer can cause Browser to use huge amounts of memory & the dynamic<br>nature of that memory usage can make browser memory very fragmented. Certain<br>
kind of pages (if I've understood correctly, with images animated from JS) can<br>still cause it to wake up in the background which causes browser to be swapped<br>in, and then out when the foreground app wants to do something (this issue is<br>
even worse in upstream Mozilla/Fennec). We're trying to get that fixed for<br>next release, but it's possible that fix isn't ready in time for that one.<br></pre></blockquote> </div></div>Browser is serious resource hog. I've noticed that closing all windows sometimes doesn't help either. As I said earlier in this thread, I was trying to restart tablet-browser-daemon, but it didn't seem to help much. Ie. browserd released memory at first, but almost instantly started regaining "weight" to the point where it roughly was before restart.<br>
<br>Again, I've set swappiness value to 60 yesterday, my N900 has 1d7h of uptime so far and I am monitoring its behaviour much closer than before. So far so good, but as I said initially - weird things start happening since approx. second/third full day of uptime.<br>
