Calibre system resources used
What does calibre load into memory when it starts? On my system on start up it has a footprint of 968 megs of ram.
Since calibre is one of my most used programs and I have 8 gigs of ram this doesn't really inconvenience me but I was curious about why memory use is so high. I have a very large library if that helps. system is ubuntu linux 64 bit 12.04 older intel quad core with 8 gigs of ram. I am always running the latest version of calibre. |

By any chance is the: metatdata backup still running (right-click Library Icon: backup status)? Is the Task wheel spinning (scanning a device)? |

@audiojude : try going to Preferences>Look and Feel> then change the User Interface style to System default - this worked here anyway to drastically reduce the footprint.

I don't see/have the system icon running that I can check on that backup running. How else can I check? I disabled the system Icon due to advice from kovid to help being able to shut down calibre and leave no running processes in the background when I have closed the UI.
I am already running the interface as system default so that doesn't seem to be an option I can change. |
