I still lack skills to monitor particular widgets memory usage under hildon-home. Is there any layman guide on how to spot memory leak easily to one _particular_ widget. Why I´m asking it here? Because after using this my hildon-home memory usage in htop in virtual* column has went up to 183 MB and my device is slowing down. This has happened over 6 days of period so to me of course the "braindead" way of fixing this is to restart device or kill hildon-home and add widgets again. Well to be fair I do not learn anything from that and on the other hand I know that I could somehow spot issue and make bug report but currently I do not have _any_ idea what to do.
I have read bugzilla entries for hildon-home issues and Nokia engineers have given only some really vague hints on how to spot issues on dev tools (and sometimes it looks like they do not even test hints themselves that they give). And in the end stating basically that "If python is involved then uninstall it because it eats your memory" and some really hard to follow "Look at your dirty value! It´s xyz big and thats not good"...okey...riiiight. No guides or real life walk-troughs with given tools. *sigh*
Sorry for rant, but I really like this widget, but to me all the slow down problems what I have encountered with N900 relate to widgets and testers inability to spot these long term issues with them.
*Then again this is not bad in general but what happens is that it just keeps itself there. Different parts of memory themselves seem to be quite hard to understand and one thing what I have understood is that fragmentation of swap might be reason for all this. But this is just guessing and not scientific observation.
