SharpReader has always been a memory hog, but its to be
expected with what its doing. And it grows the longer
you use it. Hell it takes a few minutes just to load.
Take a look at some of the other processes in memory,
like Explorer.exe. What is it sitting at? I choose to
use an alternate shell (geoshell) with alot less
overhead (currently under 6mb).
One nice thing about RSS Bandit (which also uses lots of
memory) is that when you minimize it to the tray, it
drops it's working set to the minimum (about 2MB on my
machine) but keeps working in the background regardless.
When in maximizes again, it only reallocates the memory
it needs, so it starts over much smaller.
joe - that's pretty cool!
and chris - yeah 1-0-0 MB.
Feeddemon is only about 20MB open, and shrinks to 2MB
when in the taskbar. This is the main reason that I
switched.

Yep, mine was sitting at around 125mb.
I've just sorted out the number of items held and it's
down to 83mb.
Yep. That's why I started looking for another RSS
reader.. James convinced me to switch to FeedDemon. I
really like it..except for one or two minor things. I'm
going to re-evaluate RSS Bandit, but FeedDemon is
working pretty well for me.

100 megs isn't much... for a Java app. Is this a .NET
client issue or a SharpReader issue? I'm using
NewsGator, but I don't know how much memory it uses
since windows only reports Outlook 2003's memory usage
(62 megs currently, with about 100 feeds).
I generally clear out my saved posts every 15 or 30 days
and that will help clear up the memory usage in
Sharpreader. I only have about 40 feeds subscribed, but
I don't delete posts (have about 5100 right now).
Deleting them brings the memory usage down.
I think it has something to do with Sharpreader loading
its databases into memory rather than reading them from
disk as necessary (just speculating).
Mine uses 400-600MB, well, I have some feeds, and about
74000 posts :) (won't delete).
But it looks like Sharpreader keeps everything in
memory, It is very tempting to write an aggregator that
uses sql server or something..
Mine takes 32MB (100 feeds, 10000 posts), but drops down
to 1MB or less when minimised - No problem at all
