Thanks for the Memory (Leak) The preferred RAM for Limewire is a bit over 2 MB. Last time I checked, it was eating over 50 MB on a dual-USB iBook with 384 MB RAM. Hey, this is a handy app., but it's an internet client, not Photoshop. What is it doing with all this RAM and why does it steadily increase as time goes by (another old song...)? |
It's not a memory, it's the overhead for the Java Virtual Machine. |
So basically, the Java VM is like an emulator that eats a proportion of your available RAM? |
Yes, it's sort of an abstraction layer between your operating system and the Java program. The problem is, that the JavaVM is a little bloated and slow, although Sun's latest JRE 1.4 (which will not be available for Macs in the near future) improves that greatly. |
