deluged high cpu and virtual memory usage

Would highly recommend you switch to v1.2.x - caching settings in Deluge do nothing with 2.x and memory mapping will fill your memory until the OS requests memory back.

Binhex and Linuxserver both have libtorrentv1 forks (I worked with them to get them) - so if you use docker you can just switch images. If you are running native simply install 1.2.x and uninstall, it's easiest with pip.

It's just 2.x in general man, it's a known behavior.

I just ran across this issue but pip doesn't work since Deluge 2.2 on Ubuntu uses Python 3.12 and PyPi doesn't have the 1.2.20 version that supports Python 3.12.

I'm running a bare metal install (no docker) from the Deluge PPA repository.

Thoughts?
