With FC5 and Python repoquery I'm facing increased heap space usage by a factor of 7-10 compared with FC4 or older. Heap size of the repoquery process grows quickly to and beyond Size: 586796 kB Rss: 540100 kB compared with FC4: Size: 77632 kB Rss: 77628 kB I've stopped looking into it, but Yum is not the culprit and SQLite is not either. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
