We're talking about OLPC's XOs - with 256 RAM and no swap. Our 'base working set' is about half of that - so 128MB is all there is to play with. We're trying hard to trim out base working set, but that's where we are now (and some dev builds have been much more hoggish). The kernel is a champ as long as there's memory. When memory pressure kicks in it all turns nasty pretty quickly... Anyway - I'm happy to test again in a more controlled test-case if Seth wants it, but at first blush it looks like yum is not releasing memory at a time when it could. cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
