High ram usage double the original

[CandySign]

Hello,
First off, thank you so much for this tool, I wish you keep supporting its development and expanding it even more!

So I did a test and set both the original Launchy and yours to the exact same config, including plugins however I couldn't help but notice how LaunchyQt uses much more ram than the original one and it keeps raising overtime:

This isn't really a bug but I wish there's a way to make it more friendly on the ram usage

Thanks!

what you mean the "original", the one stopped updating for mroe than 10 years or the new qt-based early version?

@CandySign The increase compared to the old version I'd wager it can be explained by the change in libraries to the QT system.

With regards the increase in ram usage, can you have a look at the processes page fault counter in task manager:

Can you also try documenting the ram usage increase over time? In windows you can setup counters in perfmon (start+r \ "perfmon" ), adding counters for 'Private bytes' and 'Page faults/sec' and search for launchy when you add the counters. Like this:

1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 
5. 

Once it's been running a while and you can see the increase, please send a screenshot of the graph, and or the data from the report option.
