Feature: less memory usage #475

Closed adamlaz closed 1 year ago

adamlaz commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. MeetingBar consistently uses 700+MB of memory, on some machines this is causing issues.

Describe the solution you'd like IDK! But, if there is anything that could be done so it uses less, that'd be great.

Additional context It doesn't feel right that this mostly background app is consistently towards the top of the list on memory usage. Love the app, but want to file this feature request because I've noticed this issue on my mac that only has 16GB ram 😢 screenshot-Activity Monitor-Activity Monitor on 2022-07-13 at 12 46 13PM

Yes, I only have 8MB of memory (M2 macbook) and found MeetingBar was using 1.2GB

Hi @adamlaz @benbeilharz-beem, Can you check the latest version? https://github.com/leits/MeetingBar/releases/download/v4.0.6/MeetingBar.dmg

I have made some optimizations and want to check if the situation has improved.

I can comment using 4.0.6 and a M2 (all updated): MeetingBar is running for a few hours now and shows with 36,3 MB RAM usage. Very decent!

adamlaz commented 2 years ago

@leits -- situation has definitely improved! I would say this issue can be closed, but I'll let you handle that 😬 Thank you for looking into this and making the optimizations.

The app now sits under 30MB, an incredible ~30x improvement! Awesome job. This app is definitely sticking around as a must-have on my work computers.

I can also attest: MeetingBar went from ~760MB to ~16MB of memory usage after upgrading from 4.0.5 to 4.0.6. Thank you @leits!

noriHanda commented 1 year ago

I am using 4.0.6 but still encountering this excessive use of memory: 1.37GB.

specs:
- MacOS 12.6（21G115）
- MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)

I got the same Issue on 4.2.2.

I regularly use programs that need a lot of ram, therefore I try to avoid every unnecessary usage. As much as I like this app, this is something that I can't really work with.

A restart did fix this, so it seems more like a bug.

AdrianFahrbach commented 1 year ago

Do you have an Update on this and could you reopen this issue/request?

leits commented 1 year ago

Included a few optimizations in the 4.5 version. Please, check it out!

gido commented 1 year ago

I will try 4.5 and give feedback as version 4.4.0 is eating 1.3 GB on my Mac M1.

(Great app! I use it everyday!)

leits commented 1 year ago

Thanks @gido!

Looking forward to your feedback! Also, there is already 4.5.1, check it out
