TeaTimer taking 30 mb of ram

[krompo]

Hello,

I just installed the latest Spybot version (1.5) and figured out that resident TeaTimer is taking 30 - 40 mb of ram instead of around 5 mb as it is written in the documentation.

Do you have an idea why is it taking so much? Is it possible to somehow set it up so that it takes only 5 mb?

thanks.

best regards,
krompo

Hello,

Did you already tried the new version 1.5.1.18 of the Resident TeaTimer?
Here is the download link:
Spybot S&D 1.5.1.18

If this does not help you can try to change the priority:
- Open Task Manager, and go to the Processes tab
- Right-click on TeaTimer.exe, and choose "Set Priority..."
- On the box that comes up, check/uncheck boxes so that ONLY "CPU 0" is checked.

Hope this helps.

Best regards

Hi,

I installed the version from your link. Since I am using Athlon XP 1800+ I have only 1 processor and thus no possibility to change multiple CPUs. In task manager "Set Priority" is set to "Low" and still TeaTimer.exe in Task Manager is displaying "Mem Usage" of 34 MB.

If you have any other ideas I would be very pleased to know.

thanks.

Tea Timer is using 26Mb of RAM. I am on SB version 1.5.1.18.

On my XP2 Tea Timer v1.5.0.13 (from spybotsd15he-beta2) is using 33.404 K (33 Mb).
And it is still growing : 33.404, 33.640, 33.684 and now 33.704 K !

So now that a few of us see this, are we the exceptions or is the 5 Mb statement incorrect? Since TeaTimer saves me from having a few useless programs always running, I would probably keep using it despite high resource usage.

mine uses 03 cpu and 27,872 mem usage.
