iTunes - Bloated to the point of collapse? [1GB RAM page 2!]

I don't know what you're doing with your iTunes, but mine only takes up about 25-26000k

That is still quite shocking.

I wonder if the Windows iTunes developers are on crack or something. Least on the Mac, thier developers do quite a decent job (MacOSX is quite efficient); But 1GB in RAM, someone at Apple must have made several big memory leaks.... xd

Not really. I mean, Last FM takes up more. MSN Messenger takes up more.

Yet, those can be optimized to use less RAM. Developers not caring about RAM usage is just plain bad design, imho. ninja And in iTunes's case, plain idiocy, especally with bugs in thier program that cause memory leaks and other horrors. burning_eyes

I'm not saying they couldn't. Just that iTunes isn't the worst culprit out there.

If you believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of humanity and aren't afraid to say so, paste this into your signature.

This is why I prefer MP3 players that act like external drives and just let you drag and drop MP3s to them.
