WLM 8/8.5 memory consumption, How much RAM does Messenger 'eats'?

Hi guys... I just wanted to get some stats... WLM is eating about 60~70MB of
RAM. Both final 8.1 and beta 8.5

How much memmory is eating in your computers?

Thanks!

Hello,
for me it's just at about 15 MB (8.5 beta), with two chat windows open.

Greetings,

Greetings,

Well, first of all, which value are you basing this on? Vista's Task Manager shows memory
quite differently to XP.

There's the memory that's being used in physical RAM currently plus the VM/paged memory.

Regardless, this sounds pretty normal for Messenger. Right now I have 24 conversation
windows open, a few with special backgrounds and I'm using 130MB of physical RAM and 145 MB
of virtual.
