Any ideas? i've attached the Kodi log (rename to .log).... any other log i can post here that might be useful ?

Thanks.

Problem persists... Any help please?

System is extremely slow, kodi is lagging even with direct keyboard inputs, SSH connections take more than a minute to respond if i don't stop the service (XBMC service)....

Also i noticed that RAM usage is way higher than on 15.0. version back on Wheezy. Is this supposed to be like this?

Only thing that continues above average from 15.0 is RAM consumption...

Marking as solved, if any of the devs need any Logs just ask and i will post them here.

These types of issues are best handled on github, I know this is an old post but people may still see it.
