Thu 02 Mar 2006 07:09:27 PM UTC, comment #3: You mean you're unable to kill it? If it successfully is killed, there can't possibly be a memory leak. It's not around anymore to own any memory. ;) Perhaps more to the point: why are you kill -9 ing it in the first place? It should exit cleanly on a kill. If that plugin is being such a hog, and you have a pentium 4, I suspect denormal issues. Is everything (ie that plugin and om) build with -mfpmath=sse?	David Robillard <drobilla>
Tue 28 Feb 2006 04:26:09 AM UTC, comment #2: Further tracked down the issue to the LADSPA Formant plugin from Omins... This thing is not only a Hog, this thing is a HOG. It sounds great, but eats 35% CPU power on my 2GHz Pentium 4. There is a Formant plugin in ZynAddSubFX that eats about 4%. (rough estimate) Carlo	Anonymous

Mon 27 Feb 2006 05:46:26 PM UTC, original submission: After several times (about 10) of killing om with killall -9 through a startup/shutdown script the computer started behaving like a Pentium/100 running Windows XP. I assume the cause is killing OM by sigkill. Carlo	Anonymous
