           Summary: cairo-ocaml: Cairo_lablgtk.create causes immense
                    amounts of disk activity
           Product: cairo
           Version: 1.10.1
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: cworth at cworth.org

Created an attachment (id=39748)
 --> (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=39748)
OCaml version (shows disk activity)

The attached OCaml program is a simple 100Hz game loop which creates
Cairo/Lablgtk contexts.  Using top, it can be seen that this results in the
amount of cached filesystem data jumping up 200-300MB (and, depending on system
load, causing actual disk activity).  The program itself does not actually use
much memory.

This does *not* occur in the equivalent attached C program, leading me to
believe the bug is in the OCaml bindings.

Furthermore, it should be noted that the Cairo context which is returned from
gdk_cairo_create (which in turn calls cairo_create) is *not* freed upon garbage
collection as it should be according to the cairo_create documentation. 
Perhaps this is related?  If not, I will open a new bug report.
