Subject: [sup-talk] Sup Resource Usage
Message-ID: <1249053483-sup-9050@Longbow>

This isn't a serious complaint, but I'd just like to bring a couple
things with respect to Sup resource usage to the light.

According to top, Sup uses a fair bit of ram: about 30 MB at any point.
For comparison, pidgin uses about that much, and firefox uses 4x more.
That's generally acceptable, but more than I'd expect from a CLI app.
This is probably unavoidable.

What I find a bit more curious is Sup's wakeups. According to powertop,
sup is actually one of the top power munchers on my computers. I don't
understand why it has to wake up as often as it does: it's responsible
for 20% of all wakeups, with a rating of ~115. By comparison, firefox
does almost exactly the same amount of wakeups, and sup is the third
thing on my list, way above my window manager/de which does considerably
more.

I wonder what could be up here. Anyway, I'm fine with it if it's
un-investigated. Cheers.
