------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat May 7 06:55:49 -0700 2005 ------- There is a memory leak in OpenOffice soffice.bin process, which is visible when using Quickstarter. I am using build 680m100. On first boot, the process loaded by Quickstarter, soffice.bin, consumes 15 MB of RAM. This is reasonable (and should be no greater). Quickstarter itself consumes and remains steady at 1,292 KB of RAM. The fun begins when one actually uses OpenOffice applications. Rather than dismissing the leak as a Windows Task Manager problem, an argument I do not accept since I have applications on my systems that actively free memory they consume while the application is in use, try the following out for yourselves. There are six OpenOffice applications installed with 680m100. Cycle through each application by launching it, creating or opening and working with an associated file, and then closing the application. Upon closing each application, note Memory Usage for the soffice.bin process, as reported by Windows Task Manager. This memory never gets freed and will grow and grow. Mine exceeded 85 MB, with no applications running - only Quickstarter - by the time I filed this report. This soffice.bin memory usage will, as I have confirmed, continue to grow with each launch, usage, and close of OpenOffice applications. It never gets freed! After reviewing the other bug reports on memory leaks in the various OpenOffice applications (i.e. bug reports: 48405, 48642, 41675, and especially 40658), it appears this is a systemic problem. This bug exists in one or more core OpenOffice components, and it would be very much appreciated if this could be fixed. As a measure, I believe that soffice.bin, which begins life at 15 MB with Quickstarter, should jettison memory and return to its initial memory consumption with each application close. Caveat: I am not a programmer, and I do realize things aren't always so black and white, but there is a problem here.
