iPhoto 6 memory usage
When I start iPhoto it is using about 63Mb.
Editting in full screen or a slideshow or particularly scrolling through the library seem to use up memory and not release it.
If I scroll up and down using my scoll wheel on my trackball then I can quickly (a minute or two of scrolling) get the memory usage to 500Mb.
The scrolling is slow and jerky and seems to miss lots of wheel clicks. Just three or four wheel clicks will add 2-3Mb of memory usage. It never seems to be reclaimed.
Scrolling using the scrollbar arrows or the drag button is very fast and smooth and stillm seems to add to the memory used, but nowhere near as much as when using the scroll wheel.
I have a G5 2 x 2.0Ghz with 2Gb memory.
I am still on 10.4.3.
I have rebuilt the thumbnail caches to no effect.
I have outline, drop shadows and animated scrolling turned off.
So, is it just me or is everyone else seeing this.
Memory leaks are a sign of bad coding and a lack of testing.
