Description Gunter Ohrner 2017-09-16 16:18:40 UTC 
kAddressbook 5.6.1 consumes rediculous amounts of memory on my system - it took a minute or so to start and now consumed 5,2 GB RSS, while akonadiserver consumes additional 1,3 GB and the corresponding mysqld process 1,1 GB...

The system has 12 GB, but an RSS size of this is not common and the system started paging memory to SSD.

I only have one local addressbook defined with a three-digit number of entries.

Addendum: After a while the memory consumption "normalized" to 244 MB (still much for such a "small" application, but acceptable):

Note: VIRT is still more than 6 GB, but the space does not seem to be actually used, it's also not paged out. Swap space usage at the moment is about 1 GB in total.

Seems to be fixed in current version.
