    The new unstable realease seems to be very memory hungry. It’s not evident when working with relatively small files, but opening a 40 Mb file, for example, makes Intype allocate over 650 MB of RAM. EditPlus, on the other hand, needs less than 90 MB to do the same.

    Here’s a file I tested it with: link.

    Ingwar: You are a lucky man! Your test file eats about 1.5GB on my machine:) It’s a known limitation of the editing component and it can’t handle long lines at this time. We are going to work on complex solution for it, but it takes a little more time.

    Anyway, Scite freezes and “e” can open, but can’t really use that file. (word wrap is on)

    Well, a 40MB line is what this editing component is simply not working with. 40MB file with normal lines takes memory comparable with EditPlus, or certainly not that much. Due to Unicode support, Intype builds unicode data for whole lines that are cached in a limited vector. In future versions, we are planning to use strategies for various files, that will optimize this behavior.

    Oh well, I discovered this by accident (and not paying attention to what file I’m actually dragging). Looked a lot like possible memory leak.

    Ingwar: We will investigate more on this, it’s a large amount of memory allocated. It may be related to the hidden memory leak we had been fixing for this release before.
