  I am just coming back to Twhirl after about a year trying other clients but I forgot my password and as far as I can see there is no way to find out my forgotten password on Twhirl?

  I've been using Twhirl as my sole Twitter client since I discovered it. But today I was doing some housecleaning and dicovered that Twhirl has a larger memory footprint that SQL Server on my system!! GOOD-BYE!!

  I love the app, but I simply can't afford to continually run an app that uses 70-80K worth of Memory. I really would love to see this become a priority. Maybe its just Adobe AIR, but I have digsby hooked into 6 different services and it uses half the RAM.

  Twhirl uses like 70,000k doing nothing on my computer. Horrible.

  I've noticed this issue as well - a pretty constant 60K though it'll spike to around 90k fairly often.

  Restarting a fresh (running for 0h 3m):
  Virtual KB Curr = 309,704 Peak = 386,780
  Working Set KB Curr = 97,652 Peak = 130,776
  Page File KB Curr = 90,592 Peak = 121,368
  Private KB = 90,592
  Handles Count = 479

  Clearly a large amount of resources are not released.

  This continues to be a problem in v0.9, still no movement!

  These are substantial resource usages (running for 24h 8m):
  Virtual KB Curr = 322,796 Peak = 416,904
  Working Set KB Curr = 98,236 Peak = 133,644
  Page File KB Curr = 102,336 Peak = 125,036
  Private KB = 102,336
  Handles Count = 832

  i've seen my twhirl use about 200mb or ram, if it keeps being such a hog i might have to use something else. even though i do love twhirl. I have an older computer so this is a major drain on my system and well upgrading my computer is just not going to happen as of right now in this economy.

  65-75 MB RAM here! I like the program, but why such a resource hog?

• madgin commented  ·  March 10, 2009 12:17  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  My Twhirl client continuously uses :60-80MB of RAM

• Dean Taylor commented  ·  February 28, 2009 08:33  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  My Twhirl client (0.9) continuously uses > 90MB of RAM.

  Thats greater than Skype, Digsby and Chrome combined!

  Averaging 95MB whilst idle; this is unacceptable - goodbye Twhirl.

• joeygibson commented  ·  February 19, 2009 08:16  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  I just shutdown Twhirl 0.9 on my Vista box and it was using 195MB. Ouch.

• traeblain commented  ·  February 14, 2009 11:48  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  It's much better than it was, but it's still taking 80mb or so. Nicer, but still needs to be optimized! Thanks guys!

  twhirl chews up 300-400MB of RAM for me. Louis Gray is promising that this is an area of focus for tweetdeck and I would like to see twhirl similarly improve. This makes a big difference in usability IMO
