I removed the attached screenshots to comply with the 40 KB/message limit.

Hello, lists,

After half an hour of using gnome-mag, memory usage for the magnifier process increased to around 625 MB, as seen in the attached screenshots. Is this a memory leak or is it a feature? Is this huge cache really necessary? It is true that the magnifier process releases some memory when needed by other applications, but the system becomes really slow.

Thanks,

Aurelian Radu
