Komodo IDE 5.2.0 alpha 1: used too much memory on first run
Posted by gmtfn

OS: Windows Vista
On the first run, Komodo was using a lot of dual core CPU (about 30%+), and memory usage rose to over 300 MB (it normally uses less than 100 MB). During this time, it was scanning files (PEAR files and what not, as if I needed it to). I had to close Komodo and restart it.
By the way, please make Komodo NOT preload libraries for languages a given user has no plans to use.

Yes, the initial Komodo scan (when there are a lot of files) may cause Komodo's memory to increase, though if the memory is not released (it should eventually be released after a couple of minutes) a restart after the initial scanning should clear out any unused memory.
We have a bug on making the pre-loading only work on the languages as required:

I know about that bug report as I am the one who has filed it... soon to be 2 years ago.
