Category: interwiki Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 8 Private: No Submitted By: Melancholie (melancholie) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Huge memory consumption during changing process Initial Comment: As soon as the changing process (putting/saving of pages) is started, interwiki.py (r5440) consumes more than 100 MB of memory (RAM+Swap) if bot is working on many wikis. Memory usage grows during changing process. When changing process is finished, the memory suddenly gets flushed. Memory usage is normal again then, but only until the next 'putting-pages process' proceeds ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2008-05-29 13:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1963242 Originator: NO Okay, this has been partially fixed by r5461. However, the fact that it is slow at _EACH_ put means that mediawiki messages are retrieved at _EACH_ put. And since every Site object does not ever retrieve its messages more than once, that might mean that the creation of Site objects in interwiki.py is suboptimal. A nice thing to check would be : Are we sure that only a single Site object is created per site in an interwiki.py run ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Melancholie (melancholie) Date: 2008-05-29 09:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2089773 Originator: YES This bug is definitely because of that change: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/wikipedia.py?… ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Melancholie (melancholie) Date: 2008-05-28 07:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2089773 Originator: YES On low memory systems that does even lead to: Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-minimal.c: 84: __libc_memalign: Assertion `page != ((void *) -1)' failed! Does that have to do with BeautifulSoup.py? The revision that used (c)ElementTree did not cause that kind of bug! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=603138&aid=197380…
