Kino leakage?
My PC at home has 1 GB RAM. I'm learning to edit video using Kino as the editing tool. Pretty cool so far.
Dude, something in there leaks.
Before I start Kino, I have about 200 MB memory in active use, and about 300 MB total according to top. After loading Kino, doing very minor editing on an hour of crap I shot before I knew what I was doing, and then shutting Kino down, top says I still have about 200 MB memory in active use, but 987 MB in use. Why doesn't the kernel reclaim all that inactive memory? Are we talking serious leakage?
And why don't I get to the swap point? I've only got 1.5 MB of swap in use.
