For me it happens when I'm rating. I do a sequence like "Ctrl-N, space, Ctrl-N, space..." etc where "N" is a rating 1-5 and I'm viewing the album one image at a time. The first few are lightning fast but a few hundred in it's crawling and I have to restart digikam.<div>

I cannot reproduce this memory leak under Mandriva 2010.1.<br>
<br>
I processed this week end more than 130 RAW image taken with my Sony<br>
Alpha 500. Tagging, comparing, sorting, demosaicing, editing (ratio<br>
crop, color corrections) saving to PNG, export to JPEG (via BQM)...<br>
<br>
No problem : Double core 2.5 Ghz (32bits) + 4 GB RAM. digiKam +<br>
kipi-plugins + kdegraphics/libs + Exiv2 from trunk<br>
<br>
Do you use 64 bits system ?<br>
<br>
Can you take a look memory leak with valgrind :<br>
