Footprint

Post by Razak »

Hi, this is just one great apps!

Wondering why "popman" have so different footprint in memory, from 392kb to 4998kb, I can't figure out why and when it change ? - I use no logg's, "popman" is idel, default 10 min. check, 2 account's.

Ciao

When hidden in the tray, Popman needs around 900 kB at my system. When I open the window, memory usage goes up to around 2000-4000 kB or more, depending on the amount of emails in the accounts. I hope this answers your question!

I get similar results as Jeroen...

around 800KB minimized and 5MB when restored. The minimized memory usage increases when Popman is checking mail from the tray.

I assume it is because text and graphics have to be cached when the window is restored, but aren't necessary when the window is minimize (except tray icons which are probably tiny in size).

FYI I'm checking 7 accounts on Windows XP.

Seven accounts and not even a decent mail-client? 8)
