Hi Matan, 6GB of RAM for LyX is indeed ridiculous and in my non-expert opinion does suggest *a* memory leak. But we don't know if it's coming from LyX or Qt. Further, I don't recall other users reporting something like this recently. I would personally suggest you wait until 2.5.0 is released (or if you want to test a pre-release let us know), and see if you observe the leak there as well. Scott
