This appears to be partially fixed under Ubuntu 23.10. While the application (when running) still eats a few hundred meg of RAM, it does release that when closed, as opposed to hanging around persistently. Given apt usually eats over a hundred meg when processing the archive index, it's probably reasonable for a a graphical application processing a similar archive and including all the icons and pretty graphics to gobble a few hundred meg. However, it should definitely relinquish that memory when not in operation, which now appears to be the case.
In other words, my major objection (that it grabbed this RAM even when not in use), appears to be addressed. However, that's not the subject line of the bug; should this be closed / revised? Are others still encountering issues with the store on mantic? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879137 Title: The snap-store is using hundreds of MiBs of RAM.
