Foobar2000 Ram usage

i just started knotessing that foobar is using heaps of ram now..
mine never drops below 10mb these days..
when i started using it awhile ago it woould rarely go over 3mb. and that why i liked it.. low ram usage and great sound..

the sound is still there but the ram usage isnt..
i did a very minimal install just to see if i had to much stuff loaded in (was running @ 30mb usage) that got it down to 10-12mb but thats still heaps..

is it just me?

If you wanna cut down on ram usage, do a complete uninstall and reinstall with just the plugins you use, i get just over 4kbs with foolooks among other plugins. So yes it is just you, but a reinstall might help. Maybe you are using a plugin with a memory leak?

Not even when minimized to tray? The RAM usage is weird sometimes, granted, but mine seems to drop a lot when minimized to tray and restored;

Startup: 8 Mb, 5 Mb VM
Tray: ~800 kb, 5Mb VM
Restored: ~2 Mb, 5 Mb VM
