CO12 seems to be much more memory hungry than CO11 ever was, so I suspect there are some memory leaks there. I just had about 350 images exported to small jpgs and ImgCoreProcess.exe ate 10GB of memory (on top of the 13GB of the main CO process). This is not right. I have to periodically restart CO while working just to free up memory. I'm on Win7 64bit
Hi,
1. It's only a memory leak if the amount of used memory keeps growing with use, until you run out of memory.
2. The fact that a program uses a lot of memory is not an issue, unless you run other application at the same time that slow down due to lack of memory. Many applications make choices, between storing temporary information on disk (which traditionally is slower) or in RAM (which traditionally is faster). Some applications do frequent releases of no-longer-used memory space AKA "Garbage Collection", others wait to avoid the lost of time caused by garbage collection.
3. There are applications that monitor memory usage in the background and, as per user preference, do more or less frequent cleanups of unused memory (unless it is indeed a memory leak). For Win7, but also Win10, I use
O&O Clever Cache.
