Description D.S. Ljungmark 2011-04-08 13:37:04 UTC
Description of problem:
Liferea is stalling a ton while waiting for fsync() or fdatasync(). 

This shows as main window not rendering, not responding to minimize/close requests, causing "not responding" dialogues and so on.


To verify this is the case, LD_PRELOAD and launch it with fex. :
#include <sys/types.h>

int fsync (int fd)
{
	return 0;
}

int fdatasync (int fd)
{
	return 0;
}

int msync (void *addr, size_t length, int flags)
{
	return 0;
}

Is there some clear course of action for this? AFAIK this terrible performance issue has been known for years upstream.

Comment 2 Emmanuel Seyman 2012-04-30 18:28:31 UTC
This is fixed in liferea 1.8.4+ (1.8.5 is in updates-testing for all supported distributions).
