Digikam memory usage

[Alberto Ferrante]

Gilles,
I did it already and, since the output was not useful, you asked me to
run Digikam through gdb...

Regards,
        Alberto

So, unless you have any other suggestion, it looks like there is no way
for me to debug this problem without looking at the code by myself
(which is something I do not wish to do at the moment).

I will probably go back to Picasa :-(

The really strange thing, is that i cannot reproduce the problem here.
There is no memory leak. Sound like a dysfunction on your system...

I have the same type of problem. As soon as I start digikam my system become
very slow  and as soon as I close Digikam my system return to normal speed.

I'm on Fedora 14, AMD Phenom(tm) 9850 Quad-Core Processor, 8 gig ram, nEVGA
Geforce 9800GT

I should have enough power but the graphic is slow to refresh. everything is
slow to show up on the screen.

what can I do to find out what is the problem. I'm typing faster with only two
finger then what the computer can write on the screen. I have the time to write
a complete sentence and then watch it appearing on the screen one letter at a
time...

Good news here: a couple of days ago Digikam was updated to the 2.4
release in Fedora and the problem with memory usage disappeared... I
could even add a folder with more than 100'000 photos without any
problem (maximum memory usage of 6-7GB).

Best regards,

With 2.5.0, Andi Clements has fix other memory consumption. He has
also identified some huge memory allocation with color management, and
he work on it to optimize this part...

Had the same experience here with my update!   It's sooooo nice to be able to start the program and get working instead of walking away while the program loads the photos.  great improvement in Digikam. Thanks. What a nice Christmas present.

For reference, Im using fedora 16
