            Bug ID: 440574
           Summary: Memory Leak / Memory Usage For Large Feeds
           Product: akregator
           Version: 5.16.3
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

I am currently observing ~250MB of RAM usage increase per day. This lead to a
system crash.

Currently Akregator is consuming 1.7GB of RAM, 4.9GB of virtual memory. Compare
this to Firefox with hundreds of active tabs, consuming 1.4GB of RAM and 8.9GB
of virtual memory.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Large number of RSS feeds (OPML export is ~300kB and ~700 lines)
2. Set checking time to 30 minute intervals
3. Wait for 24 hours

OBSERVED RESULT

A ~250MB RAM increase over 24 hours. Over several weeks this will lead to a
system lock-up/crash (in this case).

EXPECTED RESULT

A little to no RAM increase over 24 hours.
