Possible memory issue on app start

[omodia]

Setup or portable version of the app?

Portable

Steps to reproduce

1. v2.11.3 takes 2 - 3 times more RAM than previous versions. 2. Reloading the app does not clear the memory as effectively as it did in previous versions.

✔️ Expected Behavior

To take the same memory as it did for previous versions when they were updated.

❌ Actual Behavior

Takes 2 - 3 times more RAM.

This issue might be related to these two as no other change was made from v2.11.2 to v2.11.3, except #6.

When you are free and have times, from v2.11.2 source code, please check if this issue still persists after enabling #6 and skipping these two for testing purpose.

• Option to open reader directly in zen mode (access from app settings).
• Open prev/next page on scroll in reader modes "left to right, right to left" when image height is smaller than window.

It is not related to them at all, and I cant reproduce it yet. My ram usage is 70mb every time i launch. And there is a little increase in RAM usage because of #140, #143. Performance doesn't come for free, there is always RAM and CPU factors.

My ram usage is 70mb every time i launch. Performance doesn't come for free, there is always RAM and CPU factors.

True. But for me, it became 120MB everytime I launch the app.

My CPU is AMD ryzen and not Intel. If it is related.

I will disclose my system specs if needed.

Thank you.

But for me, it became 120MB everytime I launch the app.

• Which is, to be honest not much.
• If there is no way to have the same performance and smooth scrolling as now with previous versions RAM usage (50-70MB).
• Then do ignore this issue. As I do not want to let go of the smooth scrolling in the present versions.

• True. CPU, GPU, Disk usage will differ from system to system according to their specs.
• But can the same be said to RAM?
• If a system takes 70MB RAM, shouldn't all other systems take the same memory to process?
• After some thought, maybe this has something to do with RAM version and speed.
• My RAM is 8GB (4GB x 2) DDR4 3600.

What do you think?

[mienaiyami]

Im not sure myself. It is not my area of expertise.

[omodia]

Okay.

[zeoint]

This is also happening to me too.

On further testing I found that 2. is performing the same as it did in the previous versions. So I striked it out.

I have changed the title and the first comment accordingly.

1. v2.11.3 takes 2 - 3 times more RAM on app start than previous versions. 2. Reloading the app does not clear the memory as effectively as it did in previous versions.

After experimenting, I found this.

(You might not be able to produce this behavior as you said the app takes 70 MB on your system).

To produce the below video behavior,

1. First, choose a default location for 2 app versions.
2. After closing the app, Rename the default location.
3. Now open them and see task manager.
4. For both versions the RAM usage for me is almost same at the dialogue pop-up, after that the difference is noticed.
5. Since this issue is still open, I mentioned this thinking this might help.

Check if hardware acceleration affect.

Check if hardware acceleration affect.

Yes. Oddly, it has an affect. The RAM usage has gone down to 55 MB - 70 MB after disabling hardware acceleration. Maybe, as you said before, it might be the limitation of my system.
