After upgrading my N810 to Diablo, when I was using Media Player to play my favorite live tv streams, it was very choppy. On Chinook, it was fine.

Today, I used the HomeMemFree tool and "top" command from xterm to check memory usage. To my surprise, just after restarting the tablet, only around 10M memory left. No wonder Media Player would choke. On Chinook, the free memory was between 50M and 60M.

Anyone else noticed shortage of memory?

I haven't noticed choppiness or shortness of memory.

World99TV, VCURLs72 both run just fine under Diablo. I am afraid it is your setup, not Diablo, to blame.

Actually I have forund fewer memory realted issues in Diablo. Could be I am not running the rotation hack right now, but it seems snappier and more stable with fewer leaks, although I am still trying to track what is causing random desktop crashing.

check out ps auxww... it's probably browserd. It appears to *sometimes* eat memory and not quit when all the windows are closed. When a single app eats over 128 MB of ram it's bound to cause harm to the rest of the system.

A process is eating memory. I doubt it is the whole dang version.

To find out what process is doing the damage install and run load applet by Jake Pavelek.

Once you find the sucker (my bet is metalayer-crawler) use the load applet program to "kill" that process.

If this solves your problem install maemo control-services and use it to "kill" this process @ boot.

There must be a bad memory leak somewhere. Yesterday a system process ate more than 100 MB
of RAM just a few hours after a fresh firmware flashing without third party software running.
I killed that process and the whole desktop reloaded.

I also notice that memory consumption is increased after I add screen rotation to it.

Today I noticed fat processes again:
- maemo-launcher (I have yet to investigate which process hides behind this instance of maemo-launcher, but killing it reloads the whole desktop)
- osso-media-server
- browserd

I disabled medialayer-crawler on my device. I assume this instance of maemo-launcher is some built-in applet.
