Feature request: free memory of unused workspaces Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Prev Previous Post   Next Post Next
I noticed that OmniWeb always starts up with a nice and low memory footprint. However once I've cycled through all tabs in all workspaces (that's what I usually do in the morning) memory usage increases depending on how many pages I have open across all workspaces.

The problem is that once the program has grabbed all that memory it never releases it again unless I close tabs (which is what I don't want, that's what the workspaces are for, aren't they?).

Why not allow it to automatically release memory for workspaces which haven't been in the foreground for a while? I would even sacrifice some runtime performance in allowing it to release memory as soon as I switch workspaces. That would make OmniWeb probably the leanest tabbed browser on earth.

Think about it!
