Memory use is not good. What’s worse, Chandler is a CPU hog. I know my Dell 600m is geting a bit on the old side but we’re talking about a PIM. Can’t use it with the CPU getting pegged most the time by pythonw. A rewrite to a lighter footprint is in order.

Yup, OSAF hasn’t done much with memory use. We know that’s something we need to work on before 1.0. For now, we’re hoping potential users will overlook the footprint and give us feedback on the feature set.

I was so blinded by the memory requirements that I completely misread the recommended processor.

Isaac,

I think we recommend approximately a 2.0 GHz P4 and that model of P4 has been available from Intel since April of 2002 so I don’t think we are asking for Gamer-quality gear

Memory on the other hand … we are a PIM and as such fall prey to the sins of memory consumption like most others.
