Reduce CPU / memory usage whilst recording #109

Open richiemcilroy opened 2 weeks ago

richiemcilroy commented 2 weeks ago

Some users are reporting memory usage creeping to 5gb+ in longer recordings (2min+).

Need you to debug why this is happening, and do what you can to optimise CPU / memory usage.

You'll need to run a benchmark test, and then work to lower it.

Even better if you can first replicate the memory issues.

Which OS and what version was the issue reported against?

richiemcilroy commented 2 weeks ago

There's no specific OS I think. It seems to happen in certain scenarios.

I've replicated it on an iMac, macOS 13.5 with 8gb memory.

Others have reported issues on M2 chip, M1... macOS 15, 14.

So I don't think it's tied to a specific version

Can you please share the exact steps?

richiemcilroy commented 2 weeks ago

I started recording with webcam / mic.

Around 2 mins in, it started to increase in memory, until it reached the point where it was 8gb+ and crashed
