Linux Desktop (Ubuntu 16.04)
Used Qt: 2348ead (5.9.4) - config.summary is attached.
Description
The PSS memory consumption using Wayland is about 10MB bigger than using X11o n the same Linux machine. We ran several benchmarks analysing the smaps file to benchmark the PSS for the following code:
import QtQuick 2.3 Rectangle { id: blub height: 640 width: 480 color: "red" }
Run with "qmlscene rec.qml", you get an RSS value of 38M. If you start the application 5 times you get the following PSS values:
#of scenes 1 2 3 4 5 PSS 16 13 11 10 9 (average)
If you run the same test using "qmlscene -platform wayland rec.qml", you get an RSS of 44M and following PSS values:
#of scenes 1 2 3 4 5 PSS 28 23 21 19 20 (average)
For an embedded multiprocess system (our actual target) it is way too much.
