Please forward what ever you find to FS. They told me in an email that no one
has reported this problem before, and so they really need to hear from other
JFW users with the same problems.
Blessings,
Brian

I also tried this out and with just hitting the f5 key I found the memory
usage increasing.
I am going to unload jaws and restart it and check this out further.

Subject: JFW 8 & a Possible Memory Leak Problem
I forwarded my problems and findings to FS, and they can't seem to
reproduce this. So I'm hoping that one or more of you might be having some of
the same symptoms as well.
I'm using the latest version of JFW 8, and when I keep repeating the same
tasks over and over again, JFW seems to keep growing in memory.
For Example:
If I start my system from a cold start and have JFW load automatically
where I'm at nothing but the desktop, and then hit CTRL-ALT-DELETE and look at
my list of processes, JFW is using 15472K of memory. How ever, if I exit out
of the Task Manager and then go right back in without doing anything else, JFW
is now using 15920K of memory. If I repeat this a third time without doing
anything else, JFW is now using 16192K of memory. After a fourth time, JFW 8
was reported to be using 16456K of memory. Again, this is without running any
other apps, or doing anything else with JFW. During a day of normal use, I've
found JFW to be taking up to as much as 60MB. of memory.
I'm also finding that if JFW is set to load on startup, then it usually
wants to use a minimum of 2% of my processor resources, but if I launch JFW via
my hot key, then it usually reports back 0% resources in use.
What got me looking into all of this, is that my system tends to want to
become a bit more sluggish as the day goes on, and I usually have to reboot the
system to correct this problem. I didn't find JFW 7.1 put as much of a strain
on my system as JFW 8 seems to do, and with a 3.4GHz. Pentium D Dual Core
processor, and 2GB. of memory, I wouldn't expect a lot of sluggishness. I know
that if I shut down JFW, then the system is a lot more responsive.
Blessings,
Brian
