Anyone using Kde 3.5-RC1? Artsd memory?


I've been using KDE 3.5 RC1 for a week now and I noticed that the artsd that is included with it is a memory hog. According to "top" it's using 14% of my memory. X only uses 5% and firefox uses 6 - 7%. What gives? Why is artsd using so much memory? I don't remember KDE 3.4 having this issue.

KDE 3.5 is still in beta stage, wait till it gets released, and turn off artsd for the moment.
And post a bug report to help improve KDE ;-)

Well I changed the "auto suspend when idle for" setting from 60 seconds to 2 seconds and that has helped A LOT. Now it is using only about 6% of memory.

I know it's still in beta and I did search on the KDE forums first but I wanted to make sure that it wasn't a known issue before posting it there.

Thanks.

Well it's definitely not because it was RC1. I've since upgraded to KDE 3.5 stable and artsd was using up 32% of my memory!! Needless to say I went ahead and disabled the sound system. Bummer to, I was just getting used to the sounds when I opened/closed/minimized/maximized/etc a window.

you can still get the funny sounds if you put mplayer as external sound player
