Excessive memory usage (reversible) in links browser

<< < (2/3) > >>

tinypoodle:
Big difference between the two:
System cache would never show as RES mem usage, and is not in an obvious way associated to any particular app.
I am referring to links' application internal cache which can be freed from menu.

It is a limitation of busybox 'free' not to show how much of used mem is cache.
Particularly in TC 'sudo cache-clear' can be used to free RAM from cache.

Jason,
as you mentioned downgrading...
I am keeping links 2.1pre28 for the particular reason that this is the latest version including (whatever limited) javascript support.
Same behaviour can be reproduced.
So I don't think there is any reason bothering about downgrading.

Jason W:
Judging by the additional info and some of my own tests, though brief ones, I think we are good to stay put.

I agree that it most likely not an actual memory leak, but rather the way links is using and freeing resources.

tinypoodle:
Topic title (subject of first post) modified accordingly.

BTW, hitting "Flush all caches" without closing window would bring it down to ~44000 KB.
I could at no point observe any particularly increased values in "Resources info"

ACRizona:
Why did you install the LINKS browser ?  Quicker ? Lighter ?

Somewhere between Dillo and Firefox,,, I'm pleased with Midori.
But I'm still wanting a simple fast browser.

Your comments welcomed.
