Reduce memory consumption

[marlemion]

Hi. I am using sonarr on my NSA310 which is a very low performance arm5 system. Unfortunately, it has only 256MB RAM. Although sonarr is running fine, it might be of interest to reduce the memory consumption. Currently, it consumes up to 40% of RAM. Occasionally, the system is forced to swap and slows down significantly.

I have read in some forums that certain libraries of mono can be just deleted if not needed. In that way they will not be loaded when mono starts up and thus mono will use less memory. Is this an appropriate approach to achieve this goal? If yes, which of the mono libraries are needed by sonarr? I use mono exclusively for sonarr on that system. Hence, I could delete all of the not needed libraries.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Sonarr relies on cil-dev, but internally I’m not sure what exactly is used, it would be a trial and error to see if you an get it working and stable, but its not something we’ll be able to help with.
