Re: RDP 8.5 eating memory

Since Ken's email, I have turned that on. But I thought that the performance monitor may have been something different.

Thanks,
Kurt

What version are you on, Eric? Under "Preferences > General" I don't see a Performance Monitors subitem.

Thanks for this tip!

I bumped into "Preferences > General > Performance Monitors > Memory Monitor" this morning and wonder if this might help some of the users with the memory issues they've reported... I didn't enable it, since I don't seem to have these problems... Has anyone tried this?

One thing you can try...go to Window, Preferences...on the General branch, there is a "Show Heap Status" you can check. This will show a Heap Size status at the lower right corner of RDP. To the right of that is a Trash Can icon entitled "Run Garbage Collector". Click on this when you see the size getting up there, and it sometimes will alleviate memory usage.

Several years back I brought to IBM's attention the issue of memory usage and they did find a bug which was subsequently fixed. However I have noted slight increases in memory usage still taking place as I use the product throughout the day (just not as bad as it was). Restarting RDP does work but it shouldn't be necessary to have to do this. As PCs get more memory this is less of an issue, but still it does affect performance.

On a side note, we've noted RDP appears to be a big offender when it comes to fragmentation on the hard drive. No other software I've used has contributed to this as much as RDP has. This has caused me to make defragmentation a part of my weekly routine, if not sooner.

Anyone run across this? As I run with RDP8.5 open all day, eventually it consumes just over 2GB of memory. Response time begins to degrade, when I notice this I close it and restart it, but sort of a pain to do that several times a day.

I noticed that opening a given member uses 30MB of memory. Closing the member does not release the storage. Opening the same member again uses another 30MB, and so on and so on until it can't run anymore.

Any thoughts as to anything I can do from this end to help it release resources?
