Description Shlomi Fish 2012-07-29 11:31:06 UTC 
KDE's mysqld consumes a lot of RAM, even in a brand-new UNIX user account. Whereas the system mysqld (running as user "mysql") consumes 0.8% of my 8GB RAM, the KDE mysqld in a brand new user consumes 3.8%. I'm on Mageia Linux 3/cauldron.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new UNIX user.
2. Start KDE.
3. Run htop or top and sort based on MEM%.
Actual Results:  
mysqld consume 3.8% of RAM.

Expected Results:  
mysql should consume much less.

I'm on x86-64 Linux on a Core i3 machine.

A small update if I may - KDE's mysqld's RAM consumption has now increased to 3.9% of my 8 GB of RAM. And I'm not aware of anything I'm doing which requires it.

Can anyone look into this bug already?

OK, I tried going to the "Personal Information" applet in the systemsettings, and to remove everything I don't need (and apparently the "Local Folders" option is created again without asking me). mysqld as my "shlomif" user still consumes 3.9% of RAM. Very annoying. It seems to be brought up when I start KOrganizer, which I need.

Are you measuring virtual or resident memory? Check "Virtual Size" vs. "Memory" column in Ctrl+Esc monitor.

Hi,

I am getting a "Virtual Size" of 572.1 MB and a "Memory" of 298.3 MB.

This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Seems to be better on Mageia v6. Resolving.
