wow, Yes I am using 7.1 but I just duplicated this problem.

I've had my system up now for about 30 minutes. when I went in to task manager 
jaws was showing 30332k  I exited out and went back in and it was showing 
30340k and then 30344 k.

Those are not huge jumps but jumps just the same, after that experiment I 
unloaded jaws and reloaded it, Now the memory usage it was showing was 22540k 
and going in and out of task manager it was showing larger jumps.
23240 and then 23940 

I am about to restart and see what it shows up as in bootup.
 
Going to give this a look on my laptop as well!

  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.

    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
