XDD causing lot of Memory usage

Hi,
We are using Documaker 12.0 Patch 1 and running RP through IDS 2.2 in real-time mode (windows Platform). Each request coming through IDS and while processing gendata it was using huge amount of memory(around 400 MB). When we tried to find the root cause of the problem, it nailed down to XDD as it was huge in size.
Is there any option in ini or jdt files which can reduc ethe memory usage?
Thanks In Advance
Priya.

Hi,
I could think of one option here. Since you have mentioned that the XDD is huge, I would recommend you to split the XDD into smaller ones. However you will have to see the feasibility based on your system need.
a) Define a primary extract dictionary (XDD) at the BDF level with all the common fields across LOBs
b) Define Extract Dictionary Override field to define a different XDD for each LOBs that has the Field entries for each specific LOB
Basically, you will have multiple XDDs in your library; one master or primary XDD and smaller LOB specific XDD (based on the Key1, Key2). You may refer to these options in the DM Studio guide for more information. By this way, Documaker wouldn't take memory to load the entire XDD into memory.
Thanks.

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':

I wouldn't expect the '%MEM's to add up to exactly the real usage, but this isn't even close! So, what could be using up all of my memory? I have /tmp mounted to ram, but that's only a few megabytes. I really have no idea where to go from here.

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?

Extremely high memory usage after upgrading to Firefox 12

After I upgraded to Firefox 12, I began frequently experiencing Firefox memory usage ballooning extremely high (2-3GB after a few minutes of light browsing). Sometimes it will drop back down to a more reasonable level (a few hundred MB), sometimes it hangs (presumably while trying to garbage collect everything), and sometimes it crashes. Usually the crashing thread cannot be determined, but when it can be, it is in the garbage collection code ( [https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?signature=js%3A%3Agc%3A%3AMarkChildren%28JSTracer*%2C+js%3A%3Atypes%3A%3ATypeObject*%29] ).
I was able to capture an about:memory report when Firefox had gotten to about 1.5 GB and have attached an image.
A couple of things I've tried. I have lots of tabs open (though the Don't load tabs until selected option is enabled), so I copied my profile, kept all my extensions enabled, but closed all my tabs. I then left a page open to http://news.google.com/ and it ran fine for several days, whereas my original profile crashes multiple times a day.
I also tried disabling most of my extensions, leaving the following extensions that I refuse to browse without:
Adblock Plus
BetterPrivacy
NoScript
PasswordMaker
Perspectives
Priv3
However, the problem still happened in that case.
Don't know if any of this helps or not. I'm looking forward to trying Firefox 13 when it comes out.

hello, thanks for reporting back with detailed information.
from a brief look at your extensions i don't recognize any known (to me at least) memory leaking ones. in the last weeks there were also reports about the java plugin causing high memory consumption in combination with firefox 12 - in case you have it installed in firefox > addons > plugins try disabling it for a few days & test how firefox is behaving with many tabs.
& although probably not related to the memory problems you could update your graphics driver to get better results with hardware acceleration in firefox - this is the latest driver by intel for your model & os:

How to get less memory usage and cpu usage in an old pc with arch?

hi, i installed archlinux sucessfully after some problems.
but the system use a lot of memory (free said me 184mb) only with irssi, finch, mp3blaster and midori opened and is "slower" than when i used slitaz linux in it, why?
well, the things that i installed in arch are:
xorg + xf86-video-intel
jwm
irssi, finch, mp3blaster, htop.
midori, opera, elinks, links-g, epiphany.
geany, leafpad, go-openoffice, djview4, gnumeric, epdfview
isomaster, inkscape, gpicview, cdrkit, mtpaint.
pcmanfm, emelfm2, hal.
octave, mathematica5, R, wxmaxima,gnuplot.
nrg2iso, lxsplit, dclock.
here is a screenshot:
the pc have this skills:

i've read i can disable the kernel modules that i don't need to improve the memory usage.
which modules i can disable without "kill my system"?. i don't want SATA, DVD, bluray, infrared, floppys, bluetooth, usb3.0, 3d video card, dial-up-integrated modem, ntfs, 'cause mi old is so old. i want it only for the university.
thanks in advantage for the tips, and sorry if someone can't understand very well that i wanna tell you, english isn't my "mother languaje".

thanks for the answers. yes, i have a 1 gb of swap.
i think i can reduce the memory usage of the system if i dissable the kernel modules that i don't use. but, the question is: what modules is safe to disable to get it?
thanks in advantage

High Eden Java Memory Usage/Garbage Collection

Hi,
I am trying to make sure that my Coldfusion Server is optomised to the max and to find out what is normal limits.
Basically it looks like at times my servers can run slow but it is possible that this is caused by a very old bloated code base.
Jrun can sometimes have very high CPU usage so I purchased Fusion Reactor to see what is going on under the hood.
Here are my current Java settings (running v6u24):

With regards Memory, the only memory that seems to be running a lot of Garbage Collection is the Eden Memory Space. It climbs to nearly 1.2GB in total just under every minute at which time it looks like GC kicks in and the usage drops to about 100MB.
Survivor memory grows to about 80-100MB over the space of 10 minutes but drops to 0 after the scheduled full GC runs. Old Gen memory fluctuates between 225MB and 350MB with small steps (~50MB) up or down when full GC runs every 10 minutes.
I had the heap set to 2GB initally in total giving about 600MB to the Eden Space. When I looked at the graphs from Fusion Reactor I could see that there was (minor) Garbage Collection about 2-3 times a minute when the memory usage maxed out the entire 600MB which seemed a high frequency to my untrained eye. I then upped the memory to 4GB in total (~1.2GB auto given to Eden space) to see the difference and saw that GC happened 1-2 times per minute.
Is it normal in Coldfusion that the Eden memory would grow so quickly and have garbage collection run so often? i.e do these graphs look normal?
Also should I somehow redistribute the memory available to give the Eden memory more since it seems to be where all the action is?
Any other advice for performance improvements would be much appreciated.
Note: These graphs are not from a period where jrun had high CPU.

Hi,
>Is it normal in Coldfusion that the Eden memory would grow so quickly and have garbage collection run so often?
Yes normal to garbage collect Eden often. That is a minor garbage collection.
>Also should I somehow redistribute the memory available to give the Eden memory more since it seems to be where all the action is?
Sometimes it is good to set Eden (Eden and its two Survivor Spaces combined make up New or Young Generation part of JVM heap) to a smaller size. I know your thinking - what make it less, but I want to make it bigger. Give less a try (sometimes less = more, bigger not = better) and monitor the situation. I like to use -Xmn switch, some sources say to use other method/s. Perhaps you could try java.args=-server -Xmx4096m -Xms4096m -Xmn172m etc. I better mention make a backup copy of jvm.config before applying changes. Having said that now you know how you can set the size to bigger if you want.
I think the JVM is perhaps making some poor decisions with sizing the heap. With Eden growing to 1Gb then being evacuated not many objects are surviving and therefore not being promoted to Old Generation. This ultimately means the object will need to be loaded again latter to Eden rather than being referenced in the Old generation part of the heap. Adds up to poor performance.
>Any other advice for performance improvements would be much appreciated.
You are using Parallel garbage collector. Perhaps you could enable that to run multi-threaded reducing the time duration of the garbage collections, jvm args ...-XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=N etc where N = CPU cores (eg quad core = 4).

Shared memory: apache memory usage in solaris 10

Hi people, I have setup a project for the apache userID and set the new equivalent of shmmax for the user via projadd. In apache I crank up StartServers to 100 but the RAM is soon exhausted - apache appears not to use shared memory under solaris 10. Under the same version of apache in solaris 9 I can fire up 100 apache startservers with little RAM usage. Any ideas what can cause this / what else I need to do? Thanks!

a) How or why does solaris choose to share memory
between processes
from the same program invoked multiple times
if that program has not
been specifically coded to use shared memory?Take a look at 'pmap -x' output for a process.
Basically it depend on where the memory comes from. If it's a page loaded from disk (executable, shared library) then the page begins life shared among all programs using the same page. So a small program with lots of shared libraries mapped may have a large memory footprint but have most of it shared.
If the page is written to, then a new copy is created that is no longer shared. If the program requests memory (malloc()), then the heap is grown and it gathers more private (non-shared) page mappings.
Simply: if we run pmap / ipcs we can see a
shared memory reference
for our oracle database and ldap server. There
is no entry for apache.
But the total memory usage is far far less than
all the apache procs'
individual memory totted up (all 100 of them, in
prstat.) So there is
some hidden sharing going on somewhere that
solaris(2.9) is doing,
but not showing in pmap or ipcs. (virtually
no swap is being used.)pmap -x should be showing you exactly which pages are shared and which are not.
b) Under solaris 10, each apache process takes up
precisely the
memory reported in prstat - add up the 100
apache memory details
and you get the total RAM in use. crank up the
number of procs any
more and you get out of memory errors so it
looks like prstat is
pretty good here. The question is - why on
solaris10 is apache not
'shared' but it is on solaris 9? We set up
all the usual project details
for this user, (jn /etc/projects) but I'm
guessing now that these project
tweaks where you explicitly set the shared
memory for a user only take
effect for programs explicitly coded to use
shared memory , e.g. the
oracle database, which correctly shows up a
shared memory reference
in ipcs .
We can fire up thousands of apaches on the 2.9
system without
running out of memory - both machines have the
same ram !
But the binary versions of apache are exactly
the same, and
the config directives are identical.
please tell me that there is something really
simple we have missed!On Solaris 10, do all the pages for one of the apache processes appear private? That would be really, really unusual.

How to minimize memory usage with VM settings

Using JDK 1.4.2, I am trying to minimize the memory usage of my application.
Our GUI application consumes about ~20MB of heap space during normal operation, but it can easily grow to 50MB in some rare cases (Special feature accessed by user).
We have to be able to run multiple instances (separate process/VMs) of this application on low end Windows PCs.
The applications don't usually run for very long (less than 8 hours).
Here is my problem.
If I set the -Xms=20M -Xmx=64M, it works fine, but the GC is not very aggressive and soon, the application starts using a lot of memory, even if it is not really needed. And it never returns the memory to Windows OS.
So each VM take more memory than really needed, which causes significant swapping on these low end PC (little RAM available).
If I reduce the -Xmx flag, than I run out of memory in the rare cases where I need the full memory.
Ideally, I would like to configure the GC to be more aggressive, i.e. the GC should collect instead of getting additional memory from the OS when possible.
I read a few papers on Sun's web site about HotSpot tunning, but most of them are geared for large servers.
Thanks!
Francois

And you are using the task manager to determine how "much" memory is being used correct?
I suggest that you search out and read the numerous threads on this site that discuss that subject.

Nokia Messaging memory usage

Hello,
Couple of points related to Nokia Messaging
memory usage. Nokia Messaging stores, by default, 2kb of each message
on the device. Even if you have hundreds of emails, they don't take up
much space until you start getting into attachments.
The
deleted items folder in Nokia Messaging does not clear itself
automatically in this release, so if you've been deleting a lot of
emails on the device and are encountering issues with memory, go into
that folder and choose options to empty it.
We are
investigating the memory consumption on the N97 with Nokia Messaging,
as some of you have reported. The reason we don't offer message
storage on the memory card is that removing of the memory card with the
messages stored on there could cause some serious issues with correctly
syncing your email.
We do hear you on the calls for
storage somewhere other than the C drive. The amount of space that the
emails should take up on your device is minimal, but we are open to
feedback and fixing problems as they arise.
Message Edited by davisfields on 13-Aug-2009 10:46 PM

As netoak stated in the above post. My problem with N97 is the same, I have a number of applications that needs to be installed on (E) Mass Storage. By running these applications and have a message comes through. Be it, text, picture, multimedia, it will get stored on the phone memory which eventually gets full and can only be deleted as it cannot be copied or moved (connect to PC back up, delete original from phone memory and then restore from PC to Mass Storage is a royal joke) to Mass Storage.
What good is a flagship phone that meant to be rich for multimedia when a couple of e-mails or messages with attachments will render it's useless.
So if these issues below are not looked at I'm soon to trade my N97 in for something else, and neither are my friends and family going to get N97 because they already know that their non-N97 phones works fine and mine is having loads of issues.
Surely these can be fixed in the next major update of your firmware?
- Functionality to copy or move selected message from C to E. We're jumping through hoops just to do the most simplest of tasks like moving messages. Inability to move messages and e-mails between these two storage locations is really, really, 1990's and not mobile computer as Nokia trying claim N97 is.
- Settings to be persistent that messages go to E when stuff on E are being used.

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...

Deploying consumes a lot of memory on WLS (latest version)

I have a server with the latest version of WLS.
It has the complete webcenter suite installed so it runs the adminServer with 3 managed servers.
I have to do lots of deployments on that server and i notice that every time i deploy, the memory usage goes up.
When i reboot the server and start every managed server i have a usage of about 3.2GB
When i run my application the memory usage stays around 3.2GB
Then i deply for the first time. During deployment the memory goes to 3.4 and it stops their. I run my application and everything is working fine but the memory stays at 3.4GB
I do antoher deployment so the memory goes up again to 3.5 or 3.6GB. It stays their while i am running the application.
After 5 to 8 times deployment the server crashes. I can't deploy anymore. The server hangs. It does not give any feedback, no errors in the error logs. THe cpu goes to 100% and it stays their (waited for over 30min and it was still deploying).
So after some deployments i have to stop and start the server and then the memory usage is back to normal.
Does anybody has a clue what the cause could be for this issue?
It also depends on the application i deploy. When it's a small application i can deploy more times but when it's a heavy application for example the ExtendWebCenterSpaces project i can only deploy once and i have to reboot...

Hi,
We have exactly the same issue re-deploying ADF 11.1.1.3 applications to WLS 10.3.3 on Linux Redhat (on VMware ESX 4) :
We had the problems with WLS10.3.2 and 11.1.1.2 and Sun JDK 64 bit.
We replaced Sun JDK with Jrockit but it was very mem greedy on 64bit (for our server size).
We tried with 10.3.3 and 11.1.1.3 32 bit with JRockit and same problem again.
It seems the increasing mem is on the WLS server instance where the application is deployed, as we could deploy and run without problem on another server.
Only way is to restart the whole thing.
Scary for production ! And prod target is next week...
Anyone ?

Ps CS6 Memory usage 14GB from 50 meg file???

Hey,
Does this memory usage make sense?
I'm working on a 48 meg file, but my RAM usage was up to 13.9 gigs. I just restarted Ps and opened the file and it's up to 10.7 gigs.
Previously I was always maxing out 10 gigs everyday out of 12 available gigs in the machine also working on small files.( 25-30 meg on average) IT tried playing with things forever and finally just tried ordering more RAM. They ended up putting 28 Gigs in the box. And I'm really not seeing any advantage in Photoshop, other than my system still runs OK outside of Ps while I'm working. (Well Rhino 3D still crashes from being out of memory, even though there was still 6 gigs free??? but that's for another forum) Mostly it just freaks me out how much RAM it's using for such a small file...?
I'm just drawing, no filters, not too many layer masks. I do have maybe 15-20 vector smart objects in the file, and I'm at 147 layers. The issue I was having is Pen lag on the Cintiq when I draw starts getting horrible as the RAM usage gets higher. I had been restarting Photoshop constantly to get it to release RAM. But I haven't the last couple days since they doubled the RAM in the machine. And obviously on restart the file still needed a lot of RAM???
Anyone got any sugestions? I can live with the lag, sucks, but I can still work. I just don't understand why these small files are using so much RAM. Back in the day on 32 bit systems with 4gigs of RAM I would sometimes create posters/covers/magazine spreads that were 1.5- even 4 gigs that would have to be saved as Tiff's because PS didn't support a file that big. This machine runs like that everyday. At home I've been doing some freelance book covers that get up to 450 megs now and then and it still runs better, Cintiq at home draws smoother than this machine that costs 3-4 times more!
It's a win 7 64 bit box, 2 Dual core 2.4 Xeons. two quadro 2000's, now 28GB ram, OS on a 560?GB drive with files on a Terrabyte drive that gets backed up. My hardrives arent rated very high, 5.9, but at least im working local to the machine as the network is slow as heck around here!
Thanks for any suggestions anyone might have!

Your issue is stroke lag drawing. You state nothing about the brush and tool being used. Looking at your hardware and knowing Photoshop is using a lot of ram its most likely swapping a lot ram to scratch disk space. Faster disk may help. Also having two quadro 2000 does not improve Photoshop performance over having just one. Yes Photoshop does not give back RAM it allocate during a session even if you close all the open documents. This may well not be a bad thing. Photoshop is surly managing the RAM space it allocates. Having a lot of ram to work with may well cut down on Photoshop RAM swapping and speed thing up.
Your lag problem may not be a ram problem. Some brushes require GPU support and the size of the rush can easily increase lag. For example if I boot my machine and look at RAM used window 7 64bit professional I see 3.5GB allocated 36.5GB free. If I start CS6 open a new document 11"X 14" 300dpi fill it with a spectrum gradient I see 5GB of ram. In use. If I select the mixer brush tool and a large brush size and make quick brush strokes there is quite a bit of lag and my video card is a quadro 4000 a little faster then your quadro 2000. My swap space is on SSD much faster then spinning disk ratting 7.9 out of 7.9.... and I have dual 6 core xeons.
Some brush type tools like blur, smudge, dodge, burn sharpen require a lot of sequential repetitive processing .. a large tip smudge always seems lag on forever... Its the repetitive nature of the processes that cause the latency not so much the compute power.

Memory usage ind - accurate? successful live gig notes

I did a 3-set coverband thing last night with MainStage, and all went well. I covered everything using MainStage, Pianoteq for pianos, the rest was all Logic's own mass of sounds (out of all the installed Logic Studio package plus a bunch of stuff from the L7 era).
Worked great, but what bothered me is this:
while setting up the sets, I was watching the memory meter, and it was nearly pegged, so I started getting creative about how to set stuff up.
Strangely though, when I saved, quit, and reloaded the concert, the memory indicator was practially nothing (comparatively). What exactly does this meter display (available memory after taking into account any other processes possible running on the machine) or something else? After the initial worry that I lost something somewhere, I ran through all the patches and everything was fine. Even after running through all the patches, the memory indicator never moved up again...
By the way. I literally programmed the whole concert on my quad G5, saved the concert file out to a memory stick, and popped it into my MacBook Pro and read it in from there. The G5 uses mLAN, for this gig I took along an old MOTU 828 instead of ripping stuff out of my studio. Worked like a charm... Quad is Tiger, MBP is Leopard; no problem! Did I test it first, yes, but not completely. Forgot to load the USB MIDI driver from Yamaha so that the MBP would see my Motif ES8 controller. No problem. Connected over Bluetooth to my 3G phone here and downloaded the driver while the rest of the crew were hooking up cables. Came back in all fixed in less than 10 minutes.
Set list? In Numbers. Used Spaces to switch back and forth between seeing the setlist and the display of MainStage. I actually think I'll put some of the charts in .pdf format and put those in another space to look at (I'm not a regular in this particular band so there's some arrangement "stuff" I need reminders of).
Sounds? I had some reservations about using Pianoteq for pianos live, but there are some "patches" on their website that are better for this kind of gig. Used one of those for the "stock" piano sound. I have Ivory and TruePianos as well but wanted to work without an external drive to stream Ivory samples from and TruePianos seems to use a lot of CPU on my Quad, so I didn't want to run into a possible issue there. Can load up lots of Pianoteq instances without any probs... The EVB3 just plain rocks. Did a couple of things that worked nicely with Delay Designer including a cool built-up intro to Chaka Khan's Ain't Nobody (I hate playing that song - need 6 hands to cover everything! but the intro got smiles from the band). Normally I'd use some stuff from Atmosphere, but the Intel-wrapper thing they've done was something I didn't want to try live just yet.
The most striking "takeaway" from this gig was that although I had my Motif with me (and it has always been the "main horse" for live gigs for the sporadic once in a while case where I do them), I never used it. It was purely a controller. I hooked up audio to for the case that the Mac would fail horribly, but it didn't happen. Seriously, a live gig, all sounds coming from a Mac. I used to haul around 3 synths, an 88 key controller, and a 20-space rack years ago, this just kills that!!!
Anyway, repeat gig next week Saturday with the same band - gotta work up some surprises in the mean time!
Michael

Hi Michael,
thanks for sharing your experience. I too have had the same kind of issue with memory as you describe (see previous posts). Usually when I am trying to assemble a number of patches for the gig, I frequently load and unload different synths, sounds, etc. trying to get the right sounds for a song. However, as I do this, the memory usage continues to grow until its in the red. What I have noticed (on my Macbook Pro) is if I just shut down and restart MainStage, the memory meter is pretty much the same, but once I shut down and restart my computer, loading up MainStage indicates a smaller memory usage. I haven't found a work around for this other than to make sure I do an absolute clean boot, with network shutdown and no other apps running, just to ensure I have a stable environment. So far, I haven't had any gig crashing events, but the instability causes me to check MainStage very frequently throughout my gig to make sure nothing has gone wrong. I would sure like Apple to fix these issues.

MS Minimize and memory usage

Hi,
I noticed that if you minimize your dos window, your memory usage ( as shown in Windows task manager ) drops a lot. E.g. I have Tomcat running ( 15 MB usage ). When I minimize the Tomcat DOS window, the memory usage shows something like 160kB. Any ideas. What is the real usage ?
Regards,
Dieter Janssen

When you minimize the window Java will run a garbage collection. But also be aware of that the memory usage in Windows task manager is shown in both the Mem Usage column and the VM Size column (you maybe need to add this to your Task manager).
I hope this will help you!

Tracking Memory usage on iOS using the Stats class

I've been checking memory usage on an app I'm developing for iOS using the Stats class https://github.com/mrdoob/Hi-ReS-Stats ( http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/mobile/WS4bebcd66a74275c3-315cd077124319488fd-7fff.html#WS 948100b6829bd5a61637f0a412623fd0543-8000).
I added the Stats class to my project and redeployed and, yikes, memory usage reported in Stats creeps up (pretty slowly) even when there's nothing happening in the app (just showing a loaded bitmap).
To try and track down the issue I created a project with a test class that extends Sprite with just this single call in the constructor :-
addChild( new Stats() );
I deployed it to the device to check that it didn't gobble any memory.
But I was Suprised to watch the memory usage creep up and up (to approx 5) before some garbage collection kicked in and takes memory back down. I left it running and then it crept up again to over 7.5 this time before being kicked back down to just below 3.
So 2 related questions that I'd appreciate any feedback/observations/thoughts on :-
1 - Is this normal (i.e. memory creeping up when there's nothing other than Stats in the project) ?
2 - What is the best way to monitor memory usage within an app ? Is Stats good enough - is Stats itself causing the memory usage ?
All the best guys !

Also see thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4280020#4280020)
My conclusions are :-
- If you run an app and leave it idle, memory usage gradually creeps up (presumably as memory is being used to perform calcs/refresh the display etc)
- Periodically the garbage collection kicks in and memory is brought back down
- This cycle could be in excess of 5 mins
Run with your real app and memory will increase and be released much more rapidly/regularly.
- It's probably worth performing initial checks by running on your desktop to iron out any initial problems

Memory Usage And Hard Drive Activity Increase After Latest Upgrade

I have upgraded to Firefox 3.6.15 and latest Adobe Flash Player. Then i noticed that plugin-container started to take a lot of memory as much as Firefox itself totaling around 600Mb. Then i see hard drive activity intermittently slowing down my laptop and making it unresponsive for a short period of time. I have 50 tabs open. I have disabled Flash and since then plugin-container takes very little memory and i don't see consistent hard drive activity.
I need Flash and i don't want to disable it. Is there a solution to this?

I am seeking solutions for same problem. When playing simple online games such as solitaire my memory usage for the plug in container is 300-600 mb while FireFox may only be 80-120 (with several windows or tabs open of mostly text pages). If I disable Adobe add-ons memory usage is greatly reduced. If I understood correctly it is possible to disable the plugin container and run adobe via the old method and another user thought that would solve the problem. I do not understand how it would make a difference but if you havent found a solution you may want to try it. See these 2 threads in the Mozilla forum:
A question and brief explanation and how to disable plugin container in config
I've previously had problems with Adobe crashing Firefox . At least now with Adobe being in the plugin container Firefox does not crash along with it.
I have another issue - I can sometimes still hear the music from a game after I have exited the game and closed the window. I would like to know how to release the resources used by Adobe - kind of like FireFox's RamBack.
Well, good luck to you (and me!)
