Windows 10, SM 2.49.4
Task Manager showed SM using 32% memory with email and one browser window open.
The browser had only one tab with the Washington Post front page. Closing the
browser reduced memory use to 24%; after closing the email then reopening it, it
used only 7%. I've noticed this high memory usage before. Is there a way to
avoid it, or to reduce it without closing the program? I don't mind
closing/reopening the email, but often I have several windows and tabs open, so
it's a nuisance to close the browser, too.
What does:
- exiting the whole program (File -> Quit)
- restarting it
- Go -> Restore Previous Session (from the browser) do for your memory usage?
Just to be clear, here's another example:
- email and browser(1 tab) open: 26% memory usage (out 8GB)
- email still open, close browser: 23% mem. usage
- close email, open email only: 10% usage
- begin this reply: 14% usage
So, email is using an extra 13% for no apparent reason. And, 13% is significant,
as I have only 8GB RAM. When usage gets to 80%, the computer becomes sluggish, and
SM in particular can become "Not responding" for many seconds, or much longer and
have to be closed with Task Manager.
