(suggestion) Reduce memory usage #4714

Open bestv5 opened 3 years ago

bestv5 commented 3 years ago

Why does the tabby take up so much memory？ Like terminus 、windTerm, they takes up less memory than tabby。 Can the author optimize the memory occupation？

Please have a look at the Readme. It acknowledges that Tabby isn't lightweight here. That being said, if you are facing severe performance issues, you might need to provide more information.

although tabby isn't a lightweight tool, As a developer, I still want to use less memory. The following is a comparison of Tabby, SecureCRT, Termius and WindTerm :

  1. Memory usage at startup: image

  2. When connecting to 1 server(ssh to the same linux server) image

Tabby takes up more memory. I hope the author will spend some effort to reduce the memory. This is my suggestion.

As Tabby is based on electron, there's probably no much place for memory optimization. Electron include chromium, node and other softwares. Other ssh client are probably developped using C or similar. that's why they will be lighter. Using electron is a good option for platform compatibility as you don't have to code 3 times. But the cost is memory consumption.

Truly use too much memory, though I like its alt-number hotkey for switching between tabs. Maybe I need to use my old client.

Too much memory consumed. This makes my computer laggy.

This was using 10 gigs of memory before crashing on me today.
