How hard would it be to turn that on for IB? 20:43:06 <flo> that's for finding performance issues / excessive CPU usage 20:43:12 <flo> I'm after excessive memory usage right now ;) 20:43:30 <flo> but... once it works in Tb, I think it will be trivial to adapt for Ib ;) 20:43:32 <aleth> Oh, it doesn't do memory? oh well... 20:43:40 <aleth> It would be nice to get the JS debugger too :) 20:44:11 * flo retries using massif on his debug linux build after installing the glib debug symbols 20:45:28 <instantbot> aletheia2@fastmail.fm cancelled review?(florian@instantbird .org) for attachment 1499 on bug 1450. 20:45:29 <instantbot> aletheia2@fastmail.fm requested review from florian@instantbird .org for attachment 1581 on bug 1450. 20:45:30 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1450 nor, --, ---, aletheia2, ASSI, Only remove unread ruler when switching away from a tab if tab has been visible for a certain time 20:50:07 <flo> I don't understand why I don't see any libpurple allocation in my massif profile :( 20:50:22 <flo> I can't believe libpurple is using less than the threshold of 0.1% of the memory the application uses 20:55:41 <aleth> Strange. Probably listed as something misleading? 20:58:38 <-- mmkmou has quit (Ping timeout) 20:59:02 <flo> if I remove the --pages-as-heap=yes command line parameter, I do have some libpurple stuff in there :) 20:59:32 <flo> I probably won't have accurate measurements of what Mozilla does for JS arenas, but I don't think that matters much :) 21:00:35 <aleth> not when you're trying to track down 90M... ;) 21:01:53 --> mmkmou has joined #instantbird 21:03:38 <flo> now I've got 23% of the memory used by the spellchecker, some JS stuff, 18% ignored because in 3000+ different allocation stacks all of them under the 0.5% threshold, 5% in xpt, lots of things I don't understand 21:03:48 <flo> g_slice_alloc is at 2.97% 21:03:53 --> Lalae has joined #instantbird 21:04:12 <flo> purple_status_new takes 0.77% of the memory of the whole application 21:04:17 <-- Lalae has left #instantbird () 21:04:40 <flo> not a surprising discovery, it's been known for a while that libpurple allocates status objects for all buddies, even when they are offline 21:04:53 <flo> not very interesting either; it's a waste, but doesn't grow over time 21:05:17 <flo> ~221kB of wasted memory 21:05:27 <aleth> not that relevant 21:05:38 <aleth> The spellchecker uses more memory than all of my IB? Hmm... I'm going to turn it on and restart to see if I can reproduce 21:06:20 <flo> hmm, no it's 2.05% and 590kB actually 21:06:57 <flo> aleth: mesuring the memory usage almost immediately after startup is almost completely uninteresting in the results it gives ;) 21:07:08 <flo> I'm just checking that the results I see at this point are plausible 21:07:24 <aleth> I didn't restart, just turned it on, so we'll see what happens. 21:07:25 <flo> no point in running with my default profile for a few hours if it's to produce completely meaningless results 21:08:19 --> Lalae has joined #instantbird 21:08:33 <aleth> I havent restarted IB in over 48 hrs I think and its using 52M. 3 channels and a lot of past activity, now closed 21:08:56 <flo> it's possible that my high memory usage comes from a leaky prpl that you don't use :) 21:09:03 <flo> netsoul maybe? :) 21:09:08 <aleth> Wouldn't surprise me. 21:09:46 <flo> or msn? :) 21:09:56 <aleth> I have that too. 21:10:14 <flo> I have 3 connected accounts of it 21:10:17 <aleth> Though I suspect turning it off would make IB downright sleek... 21:10:40 <-- Lalae has left #instantbird () 21:15:21 <Optimizer> hey am I still connected ? 21:15:49 <aleth> Optimizer: looks like it 21:16:13 <Optimizer> oh yes, sorry to disturb, but sometimes I get disconnected, and I come to know only when I try to ping something 21:16:34 <flo> Optimizer: you can see that in instantbot's logs ;) 21:19:30 --> Mic has joined #instantbird 21:19:30 * ChanServ sets mode +h Mic 21:19:56 <flo> hmm, I've created a new profile on my linux machine and copied there my prefs.js file, hoping that would let me connect all my accounts 21:20:10 <flo> but they all fail with "Entering a password is required to connect this account." 21:20:25 <flo> is there any obvious reason for that? 21:20:59 <flo> afaik even though we now write the passwords in the password manager, they haven't been removed from the preferences files, and the migration should still work 21:21:13 <Mic> flo: if your answer about the terms on about:memory isn't answered yet: areweslimyet has an FAQ that explains some if I recall correctly. 21:22:16 <Optimizer> flo: yes I can see, but this kind of thing should not happen, right ? 21:22:38 <Optimizer> if I am disconnected, it should tell me directly, and not when I try to ping someone 21:23:06 <Optimizer> sometimes this difference increases to 1 minute , and them I miss all the conversations 21:23:23 <Mic> https://areweslimyet.com/faq.htm#whats-the-difference-between-resident-memory-and-explicit 21:25:49 <flo> Mic: the faq answered some of my questions 21:25:52 <flo> thanks 21:25:57 <Mic> :) 21:26:22 <flo> I still don't know if libpurple's allocations are supposed to be counted in explicit or not though 21:26:55 <flo> if they are in explicit, then they are in heap-unclassified, and we have a terrible memory fragmentation issue 21:27:18 <flo> if they are not, then a leak in a prpl I use could explain why I see such a large difference between explicit and resident 21:28:31 <flo> ah, I need to flip a pref so that we convert passwords again 21:29:03 <aleth> Why wouldn't it be in explicit? Because it uses it's own malloc? Seems unlikely... 21:29:36 <flo> I suspect explicit would be whatever's linked to mozilla's jemalloc, and things allocated through the system allocator wouldn't be counted 21:30:19 --> flo1 has joined #instantbird 21:32:38 <-- flo1 has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2a1pre -- http://www.instantbird.com) 21:32:56 <-- flo has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2a1pre -- http://www.instantbird.com) 21:35:15 --> flo has joined #instantbird 21:35:15 * ChanServ sets mode +qo flo flo 21:36:27 <-- mmkmou has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2a1pre -- http://www.instantbird.com) 21:37:46 <-- flo has quit (Ping timeout) 21:38:11 <-- Mic has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.2a1pre -- http://www.instantbird.com) 21:39:28 <aleth> Optimizer: It should indeed tell you when you are disconnected. 21:39:56 <Optimizer> but sometimes it detects that it is disconnected only when i try to type in something 21:40:07 <Optimizer> but in reality it was disconnected a minute ago 21:40:17 <Optimizer> this minute lag leads to loss of conversation 21:40:28 <aleth> Do you have a really bad connection? 21:41:24 <aleth> Sounds like timeouts may be involved 21:41:45 --> flo has joined #instantbird 21:41:46 <aleth> It's possible some patches in the pipeline may help a bit, but I'm not sure.
