Memory Hog

Post by r8td »

I have used LCD Smartie in the background for over a year and never thought to check the stats on the program, but i noticed there is always a steady climb in the resources the program uses. I can watch the Mem Usage for this program climb from 1,600k to over 161,000k! I tried to reinstall it thinking it was one of my plug-ins, but every plug-in I tried results in the same problem. Some just not as fast as others. Volume is much faster than the others. I am using an Imon display. I tested it with the different dlls too, from matrix to the imon. Does anyone experience this problem or have any ideas to help correct this?

Have you tried a clean install of LCDSmartie with no plugins? What version are you using?

I'm using 5.4.1.7 (an interim/beta version I think) with the matrix display driver and various plugins (mainly perf, MBM, nvtemp, regexp, scrollpad, sandr) and never have more than about 15MB mem usage (varies depending on active plugins) over about a day of uptime, on WinXP-SP2 (32bit).

One thing I've noticed is that opening the Smartie config window then closing it again seems to free up a load of memory... goes down to about 4-5MB, but eventually rises to around 15MB. I don't often have the PC on for more than around 10hrs at a time, so can't comment on long-term mem usage.
