RubyMine memory usage

RubyMine 4.5.2 on Mac OS X 10.8.1

My project has been sitting idle for several hours, and now RubyMine is using > 1.2 GB. Is this normal?

Why does it need so much RAM? Memory usage continues to climb even when the app is idle. Why is that?

Here's a line count:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Language                     files          blank        comment           code
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Javascript                     136           6756           7447          29089
Slim                                                        122                                                                                   5606
Ruby                            95           1139            187           6791
CSS                             13           1411            249           6170
XML                              4              1              0           1132
HTML                             9             57             74            243
YAML                             1              0              1              2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUM:                           258           9364           7958          43427
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Is 1.2 GB really needed for a project of this size?

Is there any way I can reduce RubyMine's memory footprint?

Thanks!

Hi,

It looks like a bug for me.
Could you please provide a memory snapshot (see http://devnet.jetbrains.net/docs/DOC-1144 for instructions how to take it)
and report bug in out tracker (http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/RUBY)

Thanks in advance, Oleg.

Sorry but I do not see the Memory Snapshot button. Can you provide a screen shot, perhaps? Thanks.

Here is a screenshot from my RM 4.5.3 (two rightmost buttons on the toolbar are profiler's ones).

Regards, Oleg.

That's weird - I do not see those buttons. I am running the latest version, just downloaded, on Mac OS Mountain Lion.

I love RubyMine, but if I can't get a handle on this memory issue I will have to find another editor, which would make me very sad.

Have you been able to complete all steps described in http://devnet.jetbrains.net/docs/DOC-1144?
(Have you added -agentlib:yjpagent to Info.plist? And do you use 64-bit or 32-bit JVM?)

Regards, Oleg.

Sorry, I didn't realize that plist setting was needed for Memory snapshotting. I've enabled it and will send the memory snapshot shortly. Thanks.

Ok, thanks, we will look at this problem.
