Hours to clean-up? That sounds silly. Seconds, minutes, maybe.
More than one person has reported what seems like a memory leak in
the Linux version as well.
It is unclear yet whether it is SM, Flash, or some other plug-in or
associated app but there are odd lags and other problems that seem to
go away when one reboots.
Are these reports being documented and studied in a bug report?
Perhaps it is certain video drivers and not SM at all.

If I try to launch SM while this is going on, nothing happens. And that's usually my tip-off to check Task Manager. Once I force the hung instance to close, I'm then free to launch it again and run normally. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

Re: SM 2.0.8 on XP consuming CPU after exit?
It's probably not a good idea to do that. While that would be a consideration if SM were still in use and accessible, since SM is dead in the water there is no reason not to kill the process if there has been an interval since it was used. fwiw, I have needed to kill SM in taskmanger for many years and have not experienced any corruption. The other point to consider is to see if quick launch is still running. If so, exit from the tray icon and see if it removes the task manager entry.
