Jack and oss2jack consume too much memory

This is my free output when I load jack and oss2jack at startup:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 250148 244720 5428 0 5160 67224
-/+ buffers/cache: 172336 77812
Swap: 2449860 66048 2383812
A check in top reveals that jack and oss2jack are the main culprits.
Because of this, I cannot load hydrogen with the ns_kit7free samples (which is 200MB worth of .wav files). It terminates (probably due to trying to access too much memory) when I attempt to switch the drumkit to ns_kit7free. I have managed to load it before, when I was just using ALSA directly. Is there any way to reduce the memory consumption of jack and oss2jack?
I have increased my swap space to > 2GB (as seen in the free output) but it doesn't help.

Well, if this can't be solved and you don't have to use ALSA, try OSS/Commercial (wiki); it has a virtual mixer in kernel-space and supports up to 32 sound output streams

  • Firefox 12 STILL consumes too much memory and periodically stalls

    1. This has gone on actually since at least Firefox 8 for many of us. With Windows 7 32 or 64bit, AND we are told OTHER OS's as well, Firefox 12 IS consuming too much memory!
    When FF 12 memory consumption "hits" 800MB on a 8 GB machine, and continues to slowly climb, FF 12 has code or other problems.
    2. ALSO, Firefox 12 under many circumstances, is slowing to a crawl, especially in opening windows and tabs.
    NOTHING we do, inspect with memory tools, etc. seems to point to any "culprits" or guide the way to researching and potentially solving these problems...and they ARE problems within Firefox 12, and likely earlier versions.
    TIME TO CLEAR THE AIR?
    These are problems being seen by others, with or without any (totally blanked out/disabled) Add-On's and even most Plug-In's being disabled or removed, both for testing the problems sen in FF 12.
    There IS a problem, or more than one, here, and it's not isolated or "just refer to this checklist" solvable.
    There's problems, perhaps memory leaks and other agenda IN THE CODE.
    We users need to stop being poo-poo'ed and "pampered" by needless communications that do nothing to truly address the problems.

    I encountered this after the memory leak was mentioned as pat of a slowdown issue with an add-on that has been in use as long as I've been using Firefox (All-in one sidebar -AIOS). After a relatively short length of time under both Firefox 11 and 12 it starts to slow down. Sub menus take more than a second to show up when the parent menu is clicked, links take more than a second to activate, pages don't load as quickly. (I have a 30Mbps downstream internet connection that I test regularly, and consistently shows between 25 and 30MBps speeds from multiple sites throughout the US. It's NOT my download speed.)
    In looking for explanations I saw at least one mention of a memory Leak.
    So I decided to test this for myself. I first removed AIOS, then re-started Firefox and just left it running. I did nothing except minimize and restore it a few times. About an hour later the memory used by FF had gone from a reasonable 42K or so, to over 200K.
    I tested again after uninstalling ALL my add-ons and plug ins. The same thing happened again.
    This is NOT simply high memory use. Which I interpret as a particular tasks or process using more memory than it maybe should.
    This is quite clearly a memory leak. Nothing was being executed, nothing was running with Firefox, and no pages were loaded during this time. But he use memory just steadily grew.
    This is clearly a new issues since I did NOT have this problem when I was using Firefox 8. If I can find an install of that I'm going back to it.
    If not I'll settle for the ESR mentioned here. If nothing else it seems to have a slower leak.
    I never did like the new version number / rapid release schedule. Mostly because growing version numbers at that rate made no real sense to me as a developer myself. But also because speed of release for new features should not be the target but quality. I think we can see that this has clearly fallen by the wayside.
    I only wish I thought there was a viable alternative.

  • Oracle Instances Processes  consuming too much memory

    Will somebody be able to guide me with the factors that are causing too much memory consumption when a single Oracle.exe instance is started ? Due to this problem it is not possible to run 2 instances at the same time.
    Oracle is running on Windows NT 4.0 SP6.
    Oracle version 8.1.6.0.0
    Currently we have 512MBytes of ram.(4.83G free space)
    One of the Instance consumes as much as 178,320K of Ram,
    another consumes about 138,000K

    Oracle consumes as much memory as you want, but more memory is faster.
    Review your init.ora (db_block_buffer y shared_pool_size)
    (It4s posible to run 10 instances in a machine with just 1 Gigabyte and they work fine. It depends on the use of the databases, the number of users, just for production or development, etc, ...).

  • Oracle Consuming too much memory.

    Hi All,
    We are having Oracle with only single instance running on the machine which has 8GB RAM. And we just have only Oracle running on this machine.
    OS - RHEL4
    Oracle : 10.2.0.1
    Out of this 8GB RAM 7.5GB has been utilized.. Can somebody please help me to find out which processes are using this much memory..
    PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET = 512MB
    SGA_TARGET = 2G
    SGA_MAX_SIZE = 2G
    Since we have allocated only 2GB as our SGA still oracle is utilizing upto 7.5GB memory.. what might be the reason behind this.
    Any help would be great.

  • ESSSVR consuming too much memory

    I was concerned about the memory consumption of the ESSSVR.exe process and I think there might be a problem with it.
    I have two instances available to me with the exact OS / Hardware / Environment configuration and the exact same configuration when it comes to Hyperion. I have deployed only one Planning application on both environments.
    When I did a fresh start of the services, one environment ESSSVR.exe process was taking up about 235,212K of memory. However on the other environment it is taking up 1,538,476K. This is a HUGE difference and I am unable to determine why.
    Can anyone help me identify the source of this huge memory consumption?
    Thanks in advance

    Anyway, checking the index cache on each of the databases on both environments may be beneficial.

  • Firefox 4 is slow, it hangs and uses far-too much memory

    I've just had to roll-back to Firefox 3.6.16.
    For those with a similar problem, here's the link:
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Firefox 4 became unusable. Firefox 3.6.16 is using about 110,00k of memory - but Firefox 4 was using, typically 160,000k but anything up to 200,000k causing my machine to hang as it struggled to find the memory.
    The weird thing about the memory use was that it just kept on climbing - just a couple of tabs open, nothing special, but you watch the memory usage keep stepping on in about 200k increments.
    There appears to be a major memory leak in Firefox 4, and until it is rectified it really is, for me, completely unusable. I had to use explorer to download 3.6.16 it was that bad.

    This is a reply I made to someone else who also finds the same problem. We think it is not a memory leak, but FF4 caching page in RAM.
    Reply:
    As I long time FF user (1st 20,000 downloaders) I am so disappointed with 4.0.
    I find similar problem. 3.6.16 used approx. 6% of 2Gb RAM, 4 has been reported at 25%. Not caused by extensions as installed over 3.6 with no change in same few exts. Many other problems (e.g. 4 fails to remember allowed redirects & many undesired changes) so resorted to backup of 3.6. Not a definitive answer, but one sure to work is to install a totally portable version of 3.6.16 (or even 4 if you wish to play around with it), there are many portable versions available which do not mess with anything else on your machine, just Google Firefox Portable. I almost exclusively use Portable progs. for everything nowadays and if issue crops up it is as simple as deleting the folder it was installed in. Also it can be copied to a Flash Drive complete with all exts. & settings and used on any win os PC. This is a good recommendation. Hope this helps.

  • How do I stop Firefox 5.0 being so slow and using far too much memory. I have disabled the plug-in container hoping this would help.

    Firefox 5.0 quickly uses 256,000+ of memory and becomes slow enough to use 60% of a twin-code processor and fails to respond for many, many minutes (10 mins +). It is often quicker to kill it ans start again, but this is a pain as I can have up to 4 /5 tabs open.

    Try a new Profile and see how it is.

  • Webview control consumes too much memory in WP 8.1 Runtime

    I am developing a Windows Phone 8.1 Store app (C#/XAML) and I use a Webview control on one of the app pages. Everything was OK until my app started to close with no exceptions. I suspected memory issues and was actually right. I've made some profiling
    and became certain the problem was with the Webview control. When I navigate to some web page, the (unmanaged) memory consumption grows rapidly, and in some further navigations it exceeds the memory limits (180 MB for low-memory devices) and the app terminates.
    Manual garbage collector calls do not help even when the page that hosts Webview control is closed. I am stuck now and have no idea how I can deal with this problem.

    OK. I've created a very simple demo for you. You can grab it here
    https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=A2B175448055B3F3!6839&authkey=!AFD34k9bZwDaelE&ithint=file%2czip
    Navigate to some pages while profiling and you will see how the memory consumption grows. The memory isn't cleared even after WebBrowserPage is closed. For a low-memory device it's enough to navigate to 2-3 such web pages to get the app terminated.
    Hi Max,
    Yes, I can reproduce this issue on my side:
    In my experience, this should be related to WebView memory cache, unfortunately, currently there is no way to dispose this programmatically.
    A possible workaround would be adding WebView control dynamically and removing it when navigate away from this page:
    void HardwareButtons_BackPressed(object sender, BackPressedEventArgs e)
    e.Handled = true;
    var frame = Window.Current.Content as Frame;
    if (frame != null && frame.CanGoBack)
    grid1.Children.Clear();
    GC.Collect();
    frame.GoBack();
    protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
    if (e.Parameter != null && e.Parameter is string)
    GC.Collect();
    WebView webView = new WebView();
    grid1.Children.Add(webView);
    webView.Navigate(new Uri((string)e.Parameter));
    Diagnostics:
    Thank you for your response and solution. Unfortunately it doesn't fully help, because the memory isn't fully cleaned by GC and in some time of actively using a Webview it is leaking anyway. But garbage collecting makes sense as it helps the in-use memory
    not to grow so fast.
    So I think this is a best solution we have so far. I wish a Webview would be better in further versions of Windows Phone.

  • Firefox uses too much memory

    I've been using Firefox as the default browser on my systems (both Windows and Linux and in 32 or 64 editions) and for some reason Firefox consumes too much memory. Now trust me. I have a very fast machine and so I get very frustrated with this issue as it seems to be a Firefox only issue. Its true that I might have up to 40 tabs open at times but Chrome can handle it Safari can handle it and even Explorer can handle it. Sometimes Firefox's memory consumption peaks to an astonish 3GB of memory which is unheard of. My machine is so fast that I can have up to 10 programs open (Maya, Photoshop, Cinema 4d, Autodesk Suites MySql server and PHP5, MS Office) and still be able to work with them all at the same time, but Firefox crashes suddenly and that is very annoying as I've customized it to my needs adding extensions and making sure all my online baking is done using Firefox. This memory issue is far more noticeable when I'm using Windows 7 64 bits. The same amount of tabs and extensions opened on Linux have no effect on memory and I often switch to Linux just to be able to enjoy a smooth Firefox browsing experience. I've invested so much money into building an amazing machine and it takes 10 minutes of having Firefox running to crash it all completely. I've lost track of the amount of times I've lost my profile and had to rebuild all my customizations but I can stand that. What is beyond my comprehension is the fact that when I'm using Windows XP or Linux the memory used by Firefox is far lower than when I'm using Windows 7 or 8.1 .
    Can you help me out? I really love Firefox and would like to keep using it as my default browser but can't afford losing my profile info every time Firefox crashes or having Windows Explorer crashing and losing all the work I'm doing on other software programs.
    Much appreciated;
    Sam

    Are there any tabs reopened from the previous session when this happens?
    Do you keep a large history?
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    You can try to check and repair the places database with this extension:

    Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

  • OIM 11g using too much memory and not releasing it when shutting down

    Hello,
    we have a problem with OIM 11g using too much memory (about 5gb) and it's not releasing it at shutdown (4gb still used).
    We are using a VM with RedHat Linux 5.6. Originally we had 4gb RAM + 2gb swap file. We installed Admin Server, OAM, OIM and SOA on that machine but quickly realised we couldn't run all 4 programs at once in 6gb. AdminServer could run with 2 other products, but it was a tight fit in memory.
    So we increased the RAM to 8gb (still 2gb swap file). But then our problem occured : I start the Admin Server (2.7gb total memory used), then OAM (4.6gb total memory used) and then OIM. After it started the server is now using 9.6gb of memory (~300mb of free memory) ! The problem gets even better : after I shut down everything (OIM, OAM, admin server) the "top" command show that there is still 4gb of memory used even tho nothing else is running on the server ! There is absolutely no other process (other than root stuff) running and no other users connected to the machine. After a reboot, it shows 400mb of memory used. I tried restarting the programs and it did the same thing.
    Our intuition is that there might be a memory leak or some bug in OIM that might use up almost all the free memory and it's not releasing it upon shutdown. It might have been there before we increased the memory but have not noticed it since memory was already tight.
    Anyone encountered the same problem ? Any idea ? Any suggestion to narrow down the problem ?
    Thank you

    You can adjust the memory settings for WLS by editing the setSOADomainEnv.sh file that can be found in your /middleware/user_projects/domains/<domain>/bin/ folder. There is an argument called PORT_MEM_ARGS which is used to set your Java memory arguments. This way you can decrease/increase the amount of memory used by each managed server.
    I usually type "ps -ef | grep oracle" to see what processes are running by the oracle user. This way the output doesn't get cluttered with root processes.

  • Finer takes too much memory on yosemite! and keeps taking more and more until it gets the machine to it's knees! What to do???

    Right after getting yosemite on my Macbook Pro with 16GB memory and SSD HDD. I find that after working for 30 minutes or so that the machine gets really slow, even switching between screens gets kinda of sluggish!!!
    So i looked into the Activity Monitor and to my surprise i find that Finder is taking more than 4GB of memory just by itself and high percentage of CPU.
    If i quit it, the machine goes back to being normal, but then Finder will restart, and again after 30 minutes or so, it does the same thing over and over.
    I am sure that it's some kind of a bug, but i don't know where to start to solve this problem!!!
    This never happened on previous OSXs.
    If anyone have a hint it will be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Every time I load my igoogle home page opening firefox, it opens it in two tabs instead of one, and then AVG tells me firefox is using too much memory and I should close and reopen it; Why

    I open firefox using my igoogle home page and immediately it opens two igoogle tabs on top instead of just one how do I stop it from opening the second one? and then after about two minutes AVG tells me firefox is using too much memory slowing my machine and tells me to close and reopen fire fox...how do I fix that?

    Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that that there are no longer Firefox or plugin-container processes left on the Processes tab in the Task Manager. Otherwise session restore will reopen the page(s) from the previous session.

  • Why does Firefox keep telling me that it is using too much memory, (eg: 235MB) and I should restart Firefox?

    Lately Firefox has been popping up a warning while I am on the internet saying, that "Firefox" is using too much memory. It suggests shutting down Firefox and restarting Firefox. It also told me how much memory that is in use at that time. It is usually about 235MB or more. What is normal memory use for Firefox to use while I am on the internet? Does high usage mean that some other person is trying to get into my computer?

    You appear to have AVG installed:
    *See --> http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=173969#post_173969
    From reading on the internet, it appears that when there is a spike in memory usage, AVG "interprets" that as a memory leak, possibly caused by malware. AVG could be incorrect concerning that assumption. Maybe they are being a bit too conservative about memory usage; just my opinion.
    The decision is yours to turn off the "advisor" or leave it on.
