Continual Memory Growth under OS X
Submitted by on Monday, 21 November, 2005 - 06:17
Hello,
I'm running jEdit 4.2 under Mac OS X 10.3.9 with Java v1.4.2_09. I've passed an "-Xmx32m" switch to the JVM when I run jEdit, but nonetheless, its memory usage, as reported by the Activity Monitor, continues to grow as I use it over a number of hours, from ~50MB to about ~150MB and still slowly moves upwards. Given that I've capped the JVM heap, where is this consumption coming from? Does anyone else experience this, or know how to deal with it?
Thanks!
