Extreme CPU-usage
« Reply #16 on: November 15, 2003, 10:09:47 PM »
I've got the same problem on debian sid with the amule debs since 1.1.0. It won't work well after some time.
First, it'll use 100% CPU for about two seconds, then low CPU for about 2 seconds and so on. When amule uses 100% CPU, not even typing text into config dialog widgets works (it will be shown after 2 seconds).
Then, after some hours, it'll use 100% CPU and will take 5-10 seconds to respond to clicks or redraw the UI.
Downloads drop down, Upload goes to less than 1/2 (which usually never happens), in sweeps and pauses.

Upload is being shown wrong (10K, and it IS 3-5K then), Download seems okay.

BUT: I've got a selfcompiled 1.1.0, which didn't have this problem when I used it, but I just tested it and it does now. Could it be that the evil CPU eating bug is in a library amule uses?
Because the UI doesn't respond when it sweeps the CPU, maybe wx? Wouldn't be the first time...

Debian sid, Athlon XP 1700, HTB Traffic shaper.
It worked before 1.1.0.

You're using debian sid as me, and I think high cpu usage it Upload-Queue relaed (I'm pretty sure) and upload queue is a wxArray and...

Yeah, could be wx's fault

More Info:

I just checked the wx debian changelogs and 25 Oct 2003 is the date of the most recent wx update. This roughly fits the time since when I have this CPU terror.
I rechecked versions down to 1.1.0, which didn't have this problem before, selfcompiled, from the external apt source, natively from debian sid and selfcompiled versions. All do show the same behaviour.
Sadly, I don't have older wx packages in my apt cache, so I can't test it against an older version of wx. The newest version in sid is 2.4.2.4 and the one before that is 2.4.1.2.
The wx changelog doesn't show anything suspicious to me.

It's exactly the same with xmule, which I just checked, up to v1.7.0.

Yes, is a problem of wxGTK linked to GTK2 Libs .

I've now tried to link wxGTK to GTK1 and now the max CPU usage that I've got is 4 % and 5% memory (after 7 hours)

Thanks

Marcello

PS= Is not beautiful as GTK2 but works ;)

Kincho, read the INSTALL file in aMule sources ...

HOW TO COMPILE WXWINDOWS
------------------------
Only GTK1 is supported. Don't try GTK2 anymore. wxWindows isn't ready for it.

For GTK1:
./configure  --prefix=/usr --disable-gtk2 --enable-timedate --enable-gui --enable-protocol --enable-http --enable-ftp --enable-resources --enable-prologio --disable-debug --enable-final --enable-timer --with-gtk --disable-profile

Original von Han

Known problem.

Compile wxgtk from a source tarball and make sure it links against gtk1.

Admitted amule looks less pretty, but it works fine after that.


so it is..... the memory leaks located in wxgtk-library. other applications using this lib are more simple and not build for running 24/7.
so in fact: xmule, amule, anymule running x11 with wxgtk could have this problem.

compiling wxgtk for urselfe should help in any solutions,

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

otherwise u must drastical reduce ur settings in amule (limit concurrently downloads < 25, don't share more than 300 files, maxconnections < 500,  max sources (hardlimit) < 300, max connection per 5 s < 20, disable statistics (bars to left corner), set file buffer to max (this reduce hdd activity), and dont make queue greater then 2000)

with this settings ur amule/xmule should running 4 weaks without restarting

For those saying that GTK1 looks worse than GTK2, you should just change the theme. Compare the following two screenshots:

Left is GTK1, right is GTK2, both use the XLiquid_GTK-1.0.3 theme.

Nevertheless, I'll keep using GTK2 with wxGTK, I like the smoothened fonts :mrgreen:

To switch the GTK+ themes easier, use GTK Theme Switch.

ok did it - had to use the tar.gz instead of the (uncompressed) folders... ;-)
