@bob – I would greatly appreciate you posting the code to this daemon?

I ran a simple c# daemon application under mono/Linux and .net/Win. And after 24 hours of use, .net take about 333 Mo and mono more than 1 Go !

Is this taking into account common shared libraries?

The following post for information about determining real memory usage under Linux:

http://virtualthreads.blogspot.com/2006/02/understanding-memory-usage-on-linux.html

How many MBs of that memory are actually for shared libraries that were already running before mono started? How many are for mono libraries? How many are for the current processes data and beagle’s application & libraries? It’s very hard to say how much memory an application really uses under Linux, due to shared libraries. If you’re only running one GTK application on your system and it has 20MB resident, it’s safe to say that most of that 20MB does indeed go towards gtk and the application. If you’re running 20 GTK applications, you could pretty much write off the memory usage for the GTK code as irrelevant.

I hope the next versions will be better cause actuals are really memory eaters !

I definitely want to try out this whole “.NET on Linux” thing. Open source .NET what whaaat? haha. It’s always nice when any kind of application is able to drop its memory usage… I definitely need to get on that for DesktopLMS… stupid memory hog. Haha.
