[gst-devel] Memory usage is increasing Gstreamer testing

[Parveen Kumar Jain]

Hi Stefan,
  Just to tell you that I don't create all these thread from own
application.For every call I create two threads so in total I create a
thread pool of 80 at the start of the application, and don't
increase/decrease it any further.But I see all these threads(around 600 more
threads apart from what I created) automatically created by Gstreamer
itself.
  Infact, I am also looking for ways where I can control these no. of
threads creation in my own way.As I understand creating so many threads in a
Quadcore system just increases the load of scheduling without adding
anything significant efficiency to system.

Thanks & Regards,
Parveen Jain
