#1301 closed bug (fixed)

OS becoming slow

Reported by: diver Owned by: axeld

Description

Overall system becoming slow after stress testing it with opening all apps and prefs and then closing it. After that simple operations like opening a folder in tracker or moving a window will eat cpu more then usual. Seems like resource leaking or a kernel/vm bug, no?

This seems to be the same as #1117 and I think the reason was just found by Jonas Sundström on the development mailing list: http://www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-development/02-2008/msg00033.html

Caused by a large freelist and PARANOID_KFREE src/system/kernel/heap.c:623

Should be "fixed" in hrev23879. Actually it was by design and a feature used for debugging. It is now only used conditionally though so it doesn't take down the system. The real fix is moving to a new allocator which does this more efficiently.
