Hi, Is yum well known for growing to very large memory sizes? I just ran # yum whatprovides usbview and the resulting process grew steadily in size until it reached 188MB resident size. While it was growing it was also consuming 99% CPU. Upon reaching its peak at 188MB, its memory usage dropped dramatically and so did its CPU usage. It's now a couple of hours on, and the command hasn't returned! This is on a system with 320MB RAM and about 600MB swap. Paul.
