Opera mem problem?

I am running Opera 9.01 and following happens.

1. Starting Opera with no page loaded -> ca. 14 MB Memory
2. Surfing arround, 4 or 7 tabs loaded -> ca. 50-70 MB depending on the pages content
3. Closing all tabs and Opera stays on 50-70 MB and does not go down.

Somebody same expiriences? Is that normal or something wrong?

 

No problem here. About 16 MB on start up. 7 tabs is only just over 18 MB. (no animations or sound associated with any of the open pages) On shut down Opera exe. disappears from Task Manager and memory usage returns to normal for my lap top.

 

Useing 9.02 I had a high mem usage also so I went back to ver. 8.54 and don't have the problem now.

 

Sorry i ment 9.02 , cilly me.

 

thought i was the only one using v 8. had a fresh install of windowz yesterday, installed 9 initially. halfway while installing other apps, thought about it, removed 9 and went back to 8.i use a lowend machine for conecting to the internet and resource usage is defntly felt, startup is longer. 9 sux. thats coming from me, a opera fan boy

 

I went back to 8.54 also with the same issue along with a few others....

hmmmm...... Now you all have me wondering. Never really paid that much attention to mem. usage with Opera. Just knew what the seat of my pants told me. [MOVE]It was fast.[/MOVE]Now I`m curious. I now know how Opera 9.x is on usage time to drop back to 8.x and see how it go`s.

 

WOW.....you were all right as usual. Went back to 8.5. Memory usage cut almost in half. And my "seat of the pants zoom meter" notices the difference as well. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

 

here 9.3 ver 8629

12 tabs open, plus 1 video tube = 112MB used, in opera config memory is set to auto

BHH

 

its a weekly--- 9.03 8629 which i tried as well. same mem issues

 

Same here, went back to 8.54 because of that as well as because of diferent ZOOM feature.

With Linux I have no problem running 9.02
