Memory Use

[Jim Roberts]

Is anyone else seeing Growl 2.1.1 using large amounts of memory over time?

Growl opened with 21 meg and over 5 days has jumped to 3 gig with approx. 200 notifications.

Can you get us a sample when this happens?

Chris,

What kind of sample would you like? I had a quick look at the console and there is nothing unusual there. Does Growl create it’s own  log file, if yes, where?

Since the 2.1.1 (I did not instal 2.1) update, growl will keep growing over a fairly short time from approximately  22 meg at startup to over 3 gig. This machine is always on and will receive at least two notifications an hour from TimeMachine Growler. Other well used applications are Dropbox, NCIDpop (uses Prowl style), Alfred and several applescripts. I believe of the 200 notifications 180 of them were TimeMachine so 180/2, it took approximately  90 hours to reach 3 gig (ok, so it is not that short of time, still seems like a large amount of memory :-)

In Activity Monitor is a button in the toolbar that says "Sample Process". We'd need output from that to figure out what's going on possibly.

Chris,

I apologize for the time delay, had some family stuff to take care of.

Here is a screen shot of an activity monitor inspect ( I have had the real memory go as high as 3 GB before a restart) and an attached a sample file.

Growl is working fine, no crashes or hangs, just using more memory than anything else (including Safari).

Chris,

Here is another sample. Memory use is up over 3 GB now.

Real Memory Size: 3.12 GB

Virtual Memory Size: 6.80 GB

Shared Memory Size: 58.9 MB

Private Memory Size: 3.16 GB
