i3-4.5 memory usage

Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:04:01 +0000

I noticed that memory usage of i3 went from <5M in i3-4.4 to ~26M in i3-4.5. Before opening a bug report, I want to see if other folks are hitting similar issue or it's just me. I'm using package from fedora 18 testing, but I can rebuild the package with different options if necessary. I saw someone having this issue but not sure which distro he/she is using: hxxp://www.reddit.com/r/i3wm/comments/1a5cqt/i3_v45_released/c8ukvui

How did you check the memory consumption. Maybe I can reproduce it on Fedora 17 where I have 4.5 running.

Confirmed on archlinux.

See https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/981 (oversight in the release process, will be fixed in 4.5.1, workaround in the ticket)
