Unusually high memory usage?

After upgrading to Mavericks i took a gander at my activity monitor and realized that my computer consistently uses more than 7GB of memory regardless of the intensity with which i use it. Having iTunes and iMail open have my computer using 7.5 of my 8GB of RAM. What is going on/ what can i do to free up some memory?

Some people have reported Mavericks is faster and some slower.  It certainly won't hurt to run large applications.
Before proceeding make sure you have a current backup.  (This should be the case at all times and I mention it now just because you should run a backup before any system maintenance and especially when installing operating systems.)
Run Disk Utility and Verify Disk on your system volume, usually called Macintosh HD.  If it shows errors then boot the recovery parttion (Boot Command-R) and run Disk Utiity from there, this time using Repair Disk.  If it fails to repair the first time, run it again.  If it fails to repair the second time then post back.
If there were disk errors in the first pass then you probably installed Mavericks over a filesystem that was not feeling well.  This is a common source of slowness from any operating system installation.  The remedy is to make sure it passes the Repair Disk test (which you just did) and then reinstall Mavericks over itself.  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5477875?tstart=30  However, do not do this if it did not repair correctly.
While you are there run Repair Disk Permissions twice.  It is likely to still report errors, even after the second pass.  That is normal.
You can try running in the guest account or any other account.  If it runs faster there then it is probably some third-party software in your account.
Good luck.  May your Mac run faster soon.

  • Ichatagent unusually high memory usage?

    a few times in the last week or so, I have come home to find my MacBook's memory all but gobbled up by the ichatagent process.
    Using activity monitor, it shows that ichatagent is using close to and sometimes OVER 1GB of memory (I have 4 GB installed). Typically it's using like 5MB, so I don't know what's up or if anyone else is seeing this. I mean, that's a 200% increase in usage, you know? Something's up.
    It doesn't show up as not responding, and I can quit the process and all is well, but this is a Mac right, things are supposed to just work? why the heck is this process growing so much? Thank goodness I have lots of RAM and an idea of what I'm doing. What of the people that have the factory 1GB installed and can't figure out why their computer is so sluggish?

    well I have one AIM account (that's actually an old .mac screen name), and bojour running. It didn't just happen once, I have observed the phenomenon on at least 3 different occasions. Quitting iChat isn't enough, either, the actual ichatAgent has to be force-quitted from the Activity Monitor in order to relinquish the RAM back to the rest of the system.
    So, just those two instances are running at any one time, and it has happened multiple times. The only thing that has been common is that I have come home from work to notice this each time it has happened, after a long absence from the computer (when I get back the memory usage is 1GB). force-quitting the offending PID releases the memory. I have restarted it as well, and obviously that works, though it hasn't stopped it from happening again (the first time I saw the issue I did a restart).

  • Firefox becomes really slow then eventually unresponsive when loading a page with many hires images. Unsual high memory usage up to 2gigs just for firefox. Was never a problem with v3.6.

    When loading a page with many hires images, Firefox becomes really slow and scrolling becomes jumpy then eventually becomes completely unresponsive. Unusual high memory usage of up to 2gigs just for firefox when loading these pages. This was never a problem with v3.6.

    I encountered the same type of problem. Firefox running terribly slowly and slowing down my entire machine (Core i5 with 256GB SSD). Searching the forums, I found a couple of things about troubleshooting performance issues, one of which was to use '''hardware acceleration''', that is on by default. It was turned on on my PC, '''so I tried deactivating it, and it worked!'''
    So doing the exact opposite as Mozilla support said solved the problem. It is really a pain now to work with Firefox. I'm using it because I have no choice, but I'd recommend IE and Chrome over Firefox... Whatever, the market will decide once Firefox has become to crappy...

  • Alerts from Norton re high memory usage by plugin-container.exe

    Running Firefox 3.6.13 on Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3. The details from Norton are as follows:
    1. Program Path C:\program files\Mozilla firefox\plugin-container.exe
    2. Program Description - Plugin Container for Firefox
    3. Memory - 1,676 MB used
    4. Disk Write Activity - 10 MB (total for this process)
    5. File Origin - Source File = updater.exe, File Created: firefox.exe,updater.exe,plugin-container.exe

    Probably the alerts are nothing to worry about, and you may wish to suppress that particular alert.
    On a couple of old spec legacy machines I recently switched. <br>Partly because of economics, and partly because , of the two, <br> Norton can perform better (in my opinion) on legacy machines.
    The first thing I did notice was that Norton does pulse updates and background tasks very frequently (configurations can be changed) by default, and flags up quite a number of alerts.
    The Norton (NIS) 'Insight' facility will be flagging up firefox plugin container.exe. It can be configured to suppress the alerts from firefox plugin container, but unless disabled will probably just flag up another busy process or application. It is not flagging it up because it is a known security problem, merely because of the amount of activity.
    I imagine the alerts are when you are playing videos, probably with FlashPlayer, and may well depend on the resolution/quality of the videos.
    If you think the results are unusual or unexpected see:
    *[[High memory usage]]
    *[[Firefox consumes a lot of CPU resources]]
    PS not sure what is happening with this post are some phrases unacceptable eg alternative expressions about economics; one paragraph was behaving oddly in preview resorted to manually adding break tags to keep it within the container.

  • Very high memory usage..possible memory leak?  Solaris 10 8/07 x64

    Hi,
    I noticed yesterday that my machine was becoming increasingly slow, where once it was pretty snappy. It's a Compaq SR5250NX with 1GB of RAM. Upon checking vmstat, I noticed that the "Free" column was ~191MB. Now, the only applications I had open were FireFox 2.0.11, GAIM, and StarOffice. I closed all of them, and the number reported in the "Free" column became approximately 195MB. "Pagefile" was about 5.5x that size. There were no other applications running and it's a single user machine, so I was the only one logged in. System uptime: 9 days.
    I logged out, logged back in, to see if that had an affect. It did not. Rebooted and obviously, that fixed it. Now with only FireFox, GAIM, and a terminal open, vmstat reports "Free" as ~450MB. I've noticed if I run vmstat every few seconds, the "Free" total keeps going down. Example:

    In any event, we can see that FireFox is sucking up 145MB (??!?!!? crazy...) XSun, 200MB, and java 190MB. I'm running Java Desktop System (Release 3) so I assume that is what accounts for the the high memory usage RE: java process. But, XSun, 200MB?
    Is this normal and I just need to toss another gig in, or what?
    Thanks

  • Norton reports high memory usage with firefox and it crashes often

    Norton antivirus 2011 has pop up warnings reporting high memory usage from Firefox. I have been getting theem often and my computer is crashing often after those pop up warnings. Thanks

    Safe mode did not help.
    I have disabled ALL extensions and plug-ins, but the problem with "zig-zag" memory usage still remains (I've not tried to leave browser open for the night yet).
    I think I'll do clean reinstall with completely new empty profile (without sync'ed information) to try this out. If this works, I'll start adding stuff (configuration, sync, features, etc) to see what causes the problem.

  • SA520W - High memory usage, possible fix in 2.2.0 firmware?

    As suggested by Thomas Watts, I'm starting a new thread to discuss the new SA520W firmware (2.2.0) and a possible resolution to high memory usage I'm experiencing on my network.
    My current setup is: 16Mbit DSL > SA520W > SA300-10, all with stock settings (no fancy VLAN's etc.)
    I have 4 CentOS 5/6 servers and a Windows 7 Ultimate station connected to the switch. I use CIFS to connect from Windows station to the other Linux servers and send large files. I currently notice the following behavior:
    When the file transfer starts, the Intel 1Gbit NIC is nearly saturated, hitting 115MB/sec. After few seconds, the data transfer comes to a halt and the transfer speed drops to around 50MB/sec. If I check the memory usage before the file transfer, it is approximately to 50-60% (on a fresh router reboot). Every time I send large files to other machines, the router memory consumption increases and it does not lower after a reasonable delay. I end-up with high memory near 90% and the only solution I have is to reboot the router in order to bring it back to 50%.
    Now, Thomas told me that this is simply a cosmetic issue, the memory is not actually 90% used. Yet, when the memory hits this threshold, I'm not capable to send files are normal LAN speeds I'm used to. Rebooting the router allows me to send only ONCE (and for few seconds) data at the expected LAN speeds.
    I would apreciate any input from Cisco engineers as well other users who experience the same issue. I would also like to know if any related work was done into 2.2.0 firmware and when we expect to have it released to users.
    Regards,
    Floren Munteanu

    Hi Tom,
    See below the answers.
    Are you currently running the 2.1.71 code?
    Yes
    Are you using IPS?
    No, the LAN is for internal use (no external users allowed)
    Are you using Protectlink services?
    No
    Hardware wise, I did not changed anything on machines. All boxes have dual Intel EXPI9301CT NIC's (LACP was planned) but I currently use single connections for sanity reasons (disks won't allow greater speeds anyway). Previous to Cisco, I used a Netgear ProSafe router + switch which did not encountered the issues I mention. Honestly, at first I thought I'm dealing with some stupid disk issues on Windows. So I ran a quick test and the stats are proper:
    > winsat disk -drive c
    > Disk  Sequential 64.0 Read                   109.62 MB/s        6.5
    > Disk  Random 16.0 Read                       2.47 MB/s          4.4
    > Responsiveness: Average IO Rate              2.12 ms/IO         6.9

    > Responsiveness: PenaltyFactor                0.0

    > Average Read Time with Random Writes         13.346 ms          3.7
    > Total Run Time 00:01:39.50
    As I mentioned before, everything is pretty much stock on router/switch settings. If you have any tips that allow me to identify the cause, I would appreciate the input. What puzzles me is the speed drop and quick memory usage increase. It occurs 7-10 seconds after the transfers begins. It looks like the data transfer hangs for a very short period of time (less than half of second) and the transfer speed decreases from 110-115MB/sec to 50-60MB/sec. The transfer is completed at this speed. No matter how many other files I try to transfer after, the speed won't go higher than 60MB/sec. If I reboot the router, I get the same cycle.

  • High disk usage/high memory usage.

    i keep getting high memory usage and high disk usage in ps cs6.
    its slow when i open a file. how can i solve this problem.
    thank you.
    philip.

    Not to put too fine a point on it, but more than what?  More RAM is almost always better, but you haven't answered most of the questions posed here.  The answer might be different if you have 2 GB of RAM or 32 GB of RAM already.  A 9 megapixel document could get rather large with a lot of layers, but again you've neglected to give any hard info about its size.
    Regarding your video card, that's a bit of a judgment call you need to make.  For Photoshop CS6 I currently advise people to try to get a video card that gets a score of 1000 or better on this benchmark:  http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
    Video card speed will matter when you're editing those 3D components and video card VRAM will also matter, but possibly even more importantly your GeForce 320 is a bit old, and nVidia may just not be doing their best driver work for it any more. 
    Everything in general will run more smoothly with a powerful modern video card.  I like to recommend a VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 7750 - or if the computer power supply and your budget allow, the even more powerful 7850.  VisionTek does a very good job with their hardware, IMO, and it comes with a lifetime guarantee. 
    Keep in mind that if you switch from nVidia to ATI or vice versa, you should carefully sweep your system to ensure all files from the old card are removed, then visit the web site of the new card's maker and download/install their latest display driver release.
    Best of luck.

  • High memory usage OSX Lion on iMac

    Hi,
    Recently upgraded 2006 iMac 6.1 to OSX 10.7.2 (4GB). Noticed performance dropped significantly when 2 or more users are logged in especially when switching users. Observed memory usage for OSX Lion is far higher than Snow Leopard! By startup 2GB real memory already allocated and often down to last 500MB. Performance appear to slow down due to swapping as swap i/o appears to increase.
    On snow leopard I had 6 users logged in and 4GB was plenty. Lion appears to be a MS product!!!!
    Anyone else experienced high memory usage on Lion and any ideas how to reduce memory consumption?
    Unfortunately at the maximum memory capacity for my my iMac so need to find ways to reduce memory usage. There must be a kernel compiler option that could reduce memory.....
    Also considering SSD drive to speed up swap i/o read/writes.
    Otherwise will have to go back to leopard :-(
    Thanks for any help in advance.
    -Dav
    PS> OSX Lion is alot more stable than previous OSX releases with this iMac model. Especially iMacs suffering the notorious NVDIDIA GPU heat problems...

    You mac can handle up to 3gb of ram, but slightly more will be available with 4gb installed.  For Lion to run smooth, a true 4gb of ram is preferred, which may explain the sluggishness of your mac.

  • High memory usage on JDBC 10.2.0.1.0 driver on Prepared/Callable Statements

    We are observing high memory usage for each callable/prepared stmt, using 10.2.0.1.0 JDBC Driver. The char[] in oracle/jdbc/driver/T4CVarcharAccessor was alloted 64K to 320K and grows with usage. This problem is worse with 10.1.0.2. driver which was alloted 720K byte of memory for each stmt right at the start.
    We found this by doing a JVM heap dump and analyzing the heap dump using IBM's heap analyser. Here is a snapshot of the heap dump for this object:
    321,240 [216] 11 oracle/jdbc/driver/T4CVarcharAccessor 0x72752968
    - 320,616 [320,616] 0 char[] 0x72761028

    - 72 [32] 1 java/lang/String 0x727530a0

    - 1,544 [1,032] 79 oracle/jdbc/driver/T4CPreparedStatement 0x72754c58
    It is repeated many times for each prepared/callable stmt call.
    Details of our platform is:
    Database - Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
    JDBC Driver - Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) JDBC Drivers
    JDK - [Classic VM, Version 1.4.2] from [IBM Corporation]
    Our callable stmts are not using any of the Oracle caching facility. It is a simple call stmt with OUT parameters and the stmt is closed after each execution. However, we implement our own connection pooling and do not close the connection after each stmt.
    Is there a workaround to this? Would appreciate any feedback.

    What is happening is that each new CallableStatement you create allocates a new char[]. I would strongly encourage you to use the implicit statement cache if at all possible. That way instead of creating a new statement each time with a new char[] you will get an already existing statement and reuse the existing char[]. Closing a statement releases the char[] so if you really are closing the statements the char[]s should be GC'd.

  • Sudden high memory usage, can't find cause

    I did a big update yesterday, and today I've started to notice very high memory usage. I wasn't keeping track before so I can't say how much it increased, but I've never had problems before, and the slowness and lack of responsiveness have been noticeable, though I haven't ruled out other possible causes for that. Here's the output of 'free -m':
    total used free shared buffers cached
    Mem: 7971 7826 144 0 1 149
    -/+ buffers/cache: 7674 296
    Swap: 9215 458 8757
    It wasn't as bad as that right after startup, though usage still seemed suspiciously high. What makes this whole thing a mystery to me is that none of my running processes seem to be using that much memory!  Here's the output of 'top -b -n 1':

    Okay, so it turns out that this was caused by the Catalyst bug described in this post. Reverting to the 13.6 version solved the problem. Lesson learned: if there's a ton of memory being used that isn't owned by a running process, start looking for bug reports involving drivers. Especially drivers known for being, well, pretty bad. Was there any method I could have used that would have told me that Catalyst was using all my ram, or is kernel-space memory usage pretty much a black box?

  • Keep getting this msg: AVG HAS DETECTED A HIGH MEMORY USAGE BY FIREFOX--TOTAL MEMORY; 292 MB. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO CLEAR THIS

    see question above and help me please... it's slowing down my computer.
    JH

    The figure may not necessarily be high depending what you are doing with firefox. Do you know how much RAM is installed on your computer ?
    The report is apparently being generated by AVG software, you will need to consult the AVG manual or its faq/site/forum if you want to turn off such notifications.
    Note if you go to ''about:memory'' in the firefox location bar it will generate a report that you may find useful. See also [[high memory usage]]

  • "Installer" high memory usage

    Hey Guys, I been having problems with my mac. I'm running 10.8.5 on my 2008 Power mac tower and recently I have been having problems with my mac
    going real slow. I opened Activity Monitor and Noticed something called "Installer" and it was using 90% of my memory and the only thing I can do is quit the process. Does anyone know why this is happening?

    I ran EtreCheck and i'll post my results. I will add more ram after I fix the problem, and adding an SSD is a good option. I thought about it but
    I was holding off because I was thinking of buying a new computer. I will try to keep my sysstem drive clean in the future. After Linc Davis posted about the Trojan i'm planning of doing that. I have a cloned mac drive, I updated the other day using SuperDuper.
    My EtreCheck info
    Problem description:
    “Installer” app is running using High Memory Usage.

    why do I get a window in the lower right corner of the screen that says "high memory usage" on my compaq presario using windows xp home edition?

    Hi,
    No just turn the monitor off, not the product off. Which version of NIS are you using ? Please see the following screen:

  • I get daily messages stating high memory usage exists on my firefox. How do I solve this?

    A rectangular box shows up once a day on lower right corner of screen. Has a graph on it and says high memory usage. What do I do to lower it?

    Thanks, but answers that begin with the word "try", in my experience, are usually just vague guesses.
    I found the solution on my own...
    Rip out everything Firefox and Mozilla from your computer, including in both Library folders. Throw it all in the trash and empty the trash.
    Then download and install a fresh copy of Firefox.
    Next time, I will simply rip everything out and LEAVE it out, because this esnips crap is a longstanding MAJOR invasion, mozilla knows it, and they do NOTHING about it. WORSE, it is not possible to contact mozilla in any way. Obviously, they DO NOT CARE!! Otherwise any attempt by esnips to sneak their crap onto a computer would be spotted and INTERRUPTED by Firefox, which obviously, is not the case.
    Esnips turns FIrefox into useless crap software. I recommend Googlechrome.
    And why on Earth is Mozilla not suing the people who force this esnips junk on their users? Esnips is USING Firefox to sneak into Firefox cusomters' computers and take a big dump in their machines.
