KeepSafe memory usage

September 12, 2005 1:33:04 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I was just wondering what KeepSafe's normal memory usage is? On my system it has been running at 18-19MB. I only have three filetypes configured to be kept safe. It just struck me to be a little high compared to the other media related products that features graphics and sound. But then again, I really don't know how much memory is required to monitor files. So I am asking you lot out there, what's KeepSafe running at for you?

Keepsafe is running at about 16mb. When I checked it this morning, it was much less at around 6mb I thought. So it's been slowly getting more memory as the day went on (I rebooted in the morning). Seems strange. Could it be a memory leak?

That does sound abnormal.  We will look into the memory usage as its usage should be low and remain low.

I have had KeepSafe running since Saturday. I haven't turned of my computer since then, only put it in hybernate. I noticed the memory usage on Sunday I think, but it has been stable since then.


p.s. I found a couple more strings not localized: the strings in the context menues when you rightclick a file.

I'll be going to England tomorrow so I'll shut down the computer then. I'll see how it behaves when I start up. I will check back in a day or so. Any program out there to monitor the memory/cpu usage of spesific programs? i.e. a monitor widget only for spesific processes?

(my KeepSafe version is 0.99b[rc].002)

Right'o! I'm back in England now. I just lanched my laptop and KeepSafe is running at 6MB. I will install it on my desktop tomorrow and see how it works there.
