[EDIT: Problem solved, it was caused by the wireless plugin. Ram leakage been addressed with version 1.8 of the wifi status plugin]

So basically I was wondering on how to reduce the amount of RAM that rainmeter uses. As we speak it is using 42520K and i have seen it once use over 100mb.I already followed sgtevmckay's guide and that helped with the >100mb. So any helpful coding hints would be appreciated, but for a few specific ones...

What is the "default" refresh rate? If i omit that from the header of an ini file, will it never refresh?

What are your opinions on the "ideal" refresh rate for (insert meter here)? (CPU/RAM, temps, wireless, mail, weather, etc).

Do buttons use more ram than "toggle" buttons? (Meaning the leftmouse downaction/upaction)

Does implementing popup menus cause more RAM to be used when they are not active? Both before and after they have been called?

My goal is to get rainmeter running at, ideally, less then 12mb but under 20 would be good (Right now it is at 47256K). Basically, less than what windows sidebar was running at (~13mb)

The default update time is 1s.

I got my CPU, RAM and SWAP to update every 2 second. My CPU temp every 30 (I think, I'm not home so I can't check).
There is no point in having your weather skin update more often than the site you get the information from. The info will still be the same, and you bug the people on th site with gathering info too often.

The best way to reduce the memory usage is to reduce the number of skins/the amount that is updated.
Consider if you really need all the skins you use and if there is some way to make them more efficient and use less resources.

I'd love to see what you are actually running to get that kind of RAM usage. I generally run around 20 skins all with graphics and I don't think I have ever gotten over 25MB.

Since I posted earlier today, I got rid of my launcher and made a new one that doesn't use any buttons or submenus. Currently i'm at 23,432K and i think i saw it peak close to 30mb. I don't know the best way to post what i'm running, so if you need more/specific information, please let me know.

Everything I use has been customized in one way or another but are based on either the Enigma or the HUD vision skins and they are:

4 Day Weather w/toggle

Date + Week

System meter (cpu %, ram %, hdd, power %, gpu temp, cpu1 temp, cpu2 temp)

launcher

wireless (SSID, %) and mail indicator

Notes w/toggle

Now it is almost 24mb

Would you mind posting the code of your old launcher for us to take a look at?

Ok, rainmeter is eating up 41,276K of ram and i really don't know why so i'm going to start posting the code for my other meters because this is starting to get to me.

Weather (custom spliced between enigma and HUD). I have edited out the URLs for privacy reasons, especially since i signed up with weather.com to get content.

I'll see about getting a screen shot in here soon and it is running at 42,668K :cry:


EDIT: Screen shot of rainmeter, currently at 44,904K. I also should have mentioned, the Notes' refresh is set high because if it isn't, when it loads or i hit the toggle button, it takes forever for the actual notes to show up.

EDIT2: At 91,236K... and i haven't changed anything since i last posted =( Any ideas? Anyone?

EDIT3: at 11:52pm, 3,628K without wireless and notes

You would not be the first person to express that Rainmeter is using a lot of resources and using avg.

An experiment: Turn off AVG and restart Rainmeter, and see if your resource usage goes down?

This may or not be it, but it is the first culprit I look for.
