Freezing problem/Kernel_Task memory usage-related?

I have a 1ghz 14" ibook G4 with 684mb ram running 10.3.9, and my computer has been freezing a lot. Some of the crashes are kinda scary, with the display flipping out (looks like a colorful snowstorm) but most are just total freezeups. I did a system restore in August, but it hasn't eliminated the problem, so I've been keeping an eye on my system with the Activity Monitor. the biggest memory hog seems to be the Kernel_Task process under Root user, using up 1% of CPU, 52mb of Real Memory, 713mb of virtual memory with 39 threads. Does that seem like normal usage for Kernel Tasks? My system seems to have a large portion of it's memory constantly in use, around 600mb, and thought that they might be related...

I also just noticed that aound 320mb of the memory that Activity Monitor is saying is used is inactive. Don't know if that means anything...

My external HD increases the kernel_task memory usage.

I use an external firewire hard drive, SmartDisk FireLite, on my eMac.
the kernel_task memory usage (RSIZE) goes up to over 400MB,
whenever I connect my external hard drive to my computer.
normally, the kernel_task uses 100 to 150 MB
with all scanner, printer, keyboard, mouse, and etc connected.
soon after I disconnect the external HD,
the kernel_task memory goes down to the normal usage.
I don't know how kernel_task works, so I am not sure if the issue is normal...
Does any kind of external hard drive take a lot of memory for kernel_task???
If I use a USB hard drive, this won't happen???
400MB for kernel_task is a lot to me,
especially when i try to use softwares like photoshop, indesign, and etc...
so, if I could save the kernel_task memory, it would help me tremendously.
I would really appreciate it if you could give me any suggestion or answer.

Thank you very much for mentioning the application.
I've already downloaded and tried the shareware.
It was great and provided more free space after running the program,
I am pretty satisfied with the results I got.
In fact, it gives me about 250MB more in free space on average.
It would almost cover the memory loss caused by my external HD.
However, I still hope there would be a way to stop my external HD eating much memory...
Recently I found my ipod shuffle which I've also used to store files won't affect the kernel_task at all and barely use memory...
I was thinking to get a new external HD as an option,
but I am worried if the same problem would remain with the new HD...

Memory problems: computer freezes on heavy memory usage

Ever since I changed the internal hard drive of my MacBook Pro (I installed a Seagate Barracuda 1Tb disk), I have the following problem:
Whenever an application needs a lot of memory (for example Parallels installing a new Windows system, or Acrobat Pro optimizing a big PDF file), the computer progressively freezes. What I mean by freezing is that I can still move the mouse cursor, but clicking has no effect, and there is no interaction whatsoever with the GUI. Even the clock on the menu bar stops.
I never had the problem before. I guess that under normal conditions the Finder will always keep a few Mb of RAM for its own use. After all I have 4Gb of RAM installed.
Is there some way I can prevent the computer from freezing? Has this something to do with VM? Ever since I changed the hard disk, this problem happens once or twice every day, and the only solution is to force a restart, losing all my work…
Thanks in advance for any advice…

First, do not assign more than half your available RAM to a VM. It's best to let the VM software's configuration to select the amount used by its defaults.
Second, watch how many concurrent applications you attempt to use. Monitor your memory usage in Activity Monitor. If the Available RAM (Inactive RAM plus Free RAM) is low and Free RAM is near zero, then you have too many concurrent applications running. This forces the system to start using the disk-based virtual memory file. With too many apps swapping into the vm file disk thrashing will occur that ultimately can lead to the computer appearing to freeze up or to actually freeze up.
Of course your alternative is to install more RAM if in fact you are over-taxing what you have now. You may find the following helpful reading:
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.

Problem with memory usage and CPU usage

Hello,
i have a problem with the memory usage and cpu usage in my project!
My application must run for more than 24 hrs. The problem is that the longer it runs the bigger is the memory and cpu usage!
It starts with ~15% CPU usage and ~70 MBytes memory usage. After ~ 24hrs the CPU usage is ~60% and the memory usage is ~170 MBytes!
After 3 days the CPU usage is almost about 70% and the memory usage is about 360 MBytes!
What can I do to reduce this huge recource usage?
Thank you!

Hi Pahe,
   I think the issue is memory usage, since CPU usage can increase due to greater memory requirements.
   Anyway, it's difficult to debug without seeing your code, can you post it (possibly for LV 7.1 compatibility)? Or just post a JPEG of the piece of code that can give problems...
   I guess you're appending data to an array instead of replace data elements, but I can't be sure...
   Have a nice day!

High "kernel_task" Memory Usage

Hello All,
I am in need of help. I have a MBP w/Retina from August 2012. It has worked beautifully until a couple of weeks ago (I think maybe when I installed Mavericks), and it then started to slow down considerably.
I have noticed high memory usage by "kernel_task" but have no idea what that is.
See the attached picture to give you the idea. Please help me to get my MBP w/Retina back to being awesome again.
Much appreciated.

hit the command spacebar and see if the spotlight is reindexing.

Did you try rebooting your computer?

I have a huge problem with memory usage.

I am having two very huge problems with the amount of memory the game I'm working on is using. The first is that the background image for a part of my game takes up ~45mb of memory, but believe it or not, that's not my worst problem. i'm not worried about that right now.
The really, really big problem does involve that image, though.
Whn I'm done using the image, I can't get the resources it uses to be freed. As a result, the program uses more and more memory every time you go into that area of the game, because the memory used by tha area is just sitting there.
I used Jprofiler to figure out exactly what wasn't getting released, because I do everything I know how to make everything be garbage collected, including setting all the references to the image to null after you leave that area of the game, but nothing worked.
After I leave the area with the huge memory leak and give everything time to garbage collect, the main screen for memory usage shows about 45mb of memory used by 20 or so instances of int[], which is obviously the image.
However, this obscenely huge int array doesn't show up in the heap snapshot, which according to them means there's no reference to it or the image anywhere in the program.
Here's my question: If there's no reference anywhere to this int array, then why isn't it being garbage collected?

Maybe you haven't actually released all references to that data.
Or if you have one 45mb image, maybe you have a bunch of other huge ones and you're just seeing those.
Why do you have a 45mb background image, though? Can't you use a standard technique like tiling it?

Massive problem with memory usage

Hello ladies and gents!
Just before Christmas I bought my first MacbookPro 13" mid-2012 which is 2.5Ghz and 16gb RAM. Firstly it was just a toy since I've been using Windows for ages because of my work. After a while I've tried to make one or two projects on my mac and noticed it handles them quite nicely. I decided to move my entire workflow to mac and was more than happy with the results. Until last month.
I have no friggin' idea why but my macbook started to work terribly slowly. Nothing unextraordinary happened, there were no new apps or nothing like this. I've tried to manage the kernel_task problem but it helped only for a few days. Even if I kill the photoshop and illustrator processes, mac still uses more than 9GBs of RAM which drives me crazy. My Windows machine is only 12GB of RAM and same specs as my mac and it KICKS OFF it's butt!
What should I do? I love the OS X workflow but my clients won't accept delays any more!

I can't find any official claim to back this up, but I know that KDE can work with as little as 512 MB RAM, so I think that 2 GB is plenty. At least for desktop stuff.
OP, do you use swap? Just to rule out any hardware issues, run Memtest86+ from a LiveCD (which you can also find on the Arch install media) for a couple of hours and see if it breaks down.

Compressor Cluster problem is memory RAM related?

Hi guys,
I was using my quickcluster with 2 instances in my mbp until yesterday. So, today after I upgraded my RAM to 4 gigs, Compressor didn't show the "My disk cluster" in the list anymore. I upgraded to the latest version of everything and it still doesn't work.
So, has anybody thought that it might be some kind of RAM Memory limit? 2 gigs max?
Looking forward to hear what you think.
Eduardo Serrano.

and my problem is that when I use parallels desktop it, I copy files to external hard memory RAM from 11GB goes to 16-100 mb. Can anyone help me.

HT1338 High Kernel_Task memory usage

I am running a Macbook pro (mid 2012) with mountain lion.
The Kernel task memory takes between 800mb and 1.4gigs of ram.
Is this normal?
Thank you

Hi William,
Thank you for your reply. I have 8 gig of ram. I was concerned because i performed a complete restore from time machine from my old mac using the Apple migration assistant and maybe dragged some non-optimum stuff accross. I've checked the kernel extensions etc. and all seems to be in order.
Thanks again
Gerry

High kernel_task RAM Usage in Yosemite 10.10.1

Hello All,
No matter what I'm running, I always have high RAM usage with kernel_task. I've looked around the other threads and never found a definitive solution. I wouldn't call it crippling to my system but I would like to resolve the issue. Below is a screenshot of my activity monitor, and my Etrecheck run. Please let me know anything I can do to reduce the RAM usage of this process.
Problem description:
High kernel_task RAM Usage (800MB - 1.5GB)
EtreCheck version: 2.1.5 (108)

The kernel_task memory usage is normal.

Occasional video freeze, related to memory usage?

Hi all,
I've been experiencing problems playing divx and flv (firefox) videos.
The image freezes for a second, then keeps playing, then freezes... again and again.
I have the same problem with VLC, MPlayer OS X, I have tried uninstalling Perian, or Flip4mac...
Computer updates are ok.
It looks like a memory usage issue to me but I am not sure.
Any idea?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
One thing you could try is to go to System Preferences>QuickTime>Streaming and set the bar for a longer delay. I get this a lot with dial up, and I think it's because the download speed is slow. It downloads a little, plays a little, downloads a bit more, plays a bit more...and so on. With really fast internet, I think it downloads faster than it plays, so you don't get this.
Good luck!

Indesign CC freezes and maxes out memory usage in Windows 7

I'm having a problem where Indesign will freeze and when I check on it in Task Manager I can see the memory usage climbing until it's using all free memory. I have to kill the task to get it to stop. I have 8GB and it maxed out at 6.5gb this morning. I'm on Windows 7 Pro and am using the 64-bit version of Indesign with the most recent update.

The document I'm working on now is only about 35 pages with 1-3 images per page, nothing too crazy. I don't have any extra plugins from what I recall - how do I check?
I'm using Photoshop and sometimes Illustrator at the same time, but have plenty of free memory until ID goes nuts.

Problem with Firefox and very heavy memory usage

For several releases now, Firefox has been particularly heavy on memory usage. With its most recent version, with a single browser instance and only one tab, Firefox consumes more memory that any other application running on my Windows PC. The memory footprint grows significantly as I open additional tabs, getting to almost 1GB when there are 7 or 8 tabs open. This is as true with no extensions or pluggins, and with the usual set, (firebug, fire cookie, fireshot, XMarks). Right now, with 2 tabs, the memory is at 217,128K and climbing, CPU is between 0.2 and 1.5%.
I have read dozens of threads providing "helpful" suggestions, and tried any that seem reasonable. But like most others who experience Firebug's memory problems, none address the issue.
Firefox is an excellent tool for web developers, and I rely on it heavily, but have now resorted to using Chrome as the default and only open Firefox when I must, in order to test or debug a page.
Is there no hope of resolving this problem? So far, from responses to other similar threads, the response has been to deny any responsibility and blame extensions and/or pluggins. This is not helpful and not accurate. Will Firefox accept ownership for this problem and try to address it properly, or must we continue to suffer for your failings?

55%, it's still 1.6Gb....there shouldn't be a problem scanning something that it says will take up 300Mb, then actually only takes up 70Mb.
And not wrong, it obviously isn't releasing the memory when other applications need it because it doesn't, I have to close PS before it will release it. Yes, it probably is supposed to release it, but it isn't.
Thank you for your answer (even if it did appear to me to be a bit rude/shouty, perhaps something more polite than "Wrong!" next time) but I'm sitting at my computer, and I can see what is using how much memory and when, you can't.

Problem with scanning and memory usage

I'm running PS CS3 on Vista Home Premium, 1.86Ghz Intel core 2 processor, and 4GB RAM.
I realise Vista only sees 3.3GB of this RAM, and I know Vista uses about 1GB all the time.
Question:
While running PS, and only PS, with no files open, I have 2GB of RAM, why will PS not let me scan a file that it says will take up 300Mb?
200Mb is about the limit that it will let me scan, but even then, the actual end product ends up being less than 100Mb. (around 70mb in most cases)I'm using a Dell AIO A920, latest drivers etc, and PS is set to use all avaliable RAM.
Not only will it not let me scan, once a file I've opened has used up "x" amount of RAM, even if I then close that file, "x" amount of RAM will STILL be unavaliable. This means if I scan something, I have to save it, close PS, then open it again before I can scan anything else.
Surely this isn't normal. Or am I being stupid and missing something obvious?
I've also monitored the memory usage during scanning using task manager and various other things, it hardly goes up at all, then shoots up to 70-80% once the 70ishMb file is loaded. Something is up because if that were true, I'd actually only have 1Gb of RAM, and running Vista would be nearly impossible.
It's not a Vista thing either as I had this problem when I had XP. In fact it was worse then, I could hardly scan anything, had to be very low resolution.
Thanks in advance for any help
