Ooopsie!
July 4, 2008 2:14 pm gnomeI rebooted my computer and went out for lunch with some friends. When I came back, it was particularly unresponsive, so I went hunting, and top showed me this:
19055 root 20 0 1343m 453m 1524 D 0.3 45.3 1:46.13 rsvg-convert
A quick ps…
dneary@sligo:~$ ps -ef | grep 19055 root 19055 19054 0 12:25 ? 00:01:45 /usr/bin/rsvg-convert -o /var/log/bootchart/hardy-20080704-1.png /var/log/bootchart/bootchart.svgz
Ouch!
Does bootchart run until you log in? Is this normal behaviour? 1.3G of virtual memory is an awful lot…

IIRC, yes, it does by default, because it’s trying to test time-to-desktop (including X and desktop environment startup time).
