Memory usage...

Hello,

my Task-Manager shows me, that ClamTray.exe uses 18.000 k of my memory. I think, that this is a little bit too much. I mean, it doesn't do any really complex tasks. It only lies in the tray without real time scanning or anything else.

The same with the process ClamWin.exe (idle). 21.000 k of memory usage. I really think, that this hasen't to be.

You would do a favor to me, if you could fix this.

Thank you!

Edit: Sry, maybe this is the wrong board for my thread...please move it! Thx!

Yes it is, but the user interface (which is ClamWin) is mostly written in Python.
To tune the performance, we would have to rewrite at least ClamTray.exe in C/C++.
