WLM Memory Usage is HUGE!!!

WLM is the biggest consumer of memory on my XPSP2 machine. It eats more memory than Outlook 2007! My top 5 memory hogs are:

wlmail.exe = 82,976 K
RTVSCAN.exe = 54,736 K
aim6.exe = 44,800 K
OUTLOOK.EXE = 43,352 K
searchindexer.exe = 39,805 K

You should buy some more memory. Don't want to run out now, - right?

Re: WLM Memory Usage is HUGE!!!

Better, but it still would top my list below. I'm curious if that number would grow during the day as you send mail, read these newsgroups, etc...

Re: WLM Memory Usage is HUGE!!!

It has actually dropped to 42,408 KB.

Of course this is just the wlm.exe file.

Have you defragged and compacted your disk recently?

Of course I'm using the crippled beta of WLM - the 14.0.5027.0908 build.

Re: WLM Memory Usage is HUGE!!!

Why wouldn't this worry me? Who doesn't like efficient use of resources? Is this the attitude of software developers these days? Like everyone else, I run multiple apps all day long alongside virus scanners and Windows itself. I want efficient use of resources in memory and CPU.

People complain about Vista's memory use all the time. If WLM is going to replace Windows Mail in Win7, then they need to tidy up the programming before then.

Re: WLM Memory Usage is HUGE!!!

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but my WLM is only using 20,184K and I've been on all morning. I'll keep checking it throughout the day because I have it on from 6:00 A.M. until about 10:00 P.M. so will see what it looks like at the end of the day.

FWIW-
Mine has gone from 12K to 14K and is now at 30K.
I am running Vista Ultimate w/4GB Ram.
