Memory consumption growing even when idle?
Submitted by sethrasmussen on Monday, 10 July, 2006 - 14:41
Hi all,

I've been using jEdit as my primary editor for several months now, and generally am very happy with it. One thing I've noticed is that jEdit seems to consume more and more memory over time, even when the app sits idle for extended periods. I know you can quickly release memory by double-clicking the usage report in the status bar, but is there something I can do to avoid some of that? Or are there debugging techniques that I could use to determine if it is from certain plugins, for instance?

Thanks for any advice!
