TweetDeck the Memory Hog
TweetDeck the memory hog
TweetDeck, a simple twitter client based off of Adobe Air manages to gorge itself on over 200MB of memory, and have a VRAM footprint of over a gig? What the hell is up with this? Are all Adobe Air applications this much of a pig?
What really gets me is that my nightly build of Firefox (Called Minefield) comes in a respectable second in footprint with 25% less memory usage.
I’m floored, yet this explains why TweetDeck frequently becomes unresponsive with the Spinning Beach Ball of Doom!
