Subject: RAM consumption when working with the gcc repo
Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2007 15:07:05 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9e4733910712071207p750c14f4h7abc5d637da3a478@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I noticed two things when doing a repack of the gcc repo. First is
that the git process is getting to be way too big. Turning off the
delta caches had minimal impact. Why does the process still grow to
4.8GB?
Putting this in perspective, this is a 4.8GB process constructing a
330MB file. Something isn't right. Memory leak or inefficient data
structure?
The second issue is that the repack process slows way down on the last
10% of the packing process. I don't believe this was caused by
swapping since my disk light wasn't on. It takes a long to do the last
10% as it did for the first 70%. This seems to be correlated with the
size of the process getting so large.
