Why the hell does AIM use up 52,996K of ram?

[KhoiFather]

Thats pretty freaking high for a little program that all I use for is to chat. Whats the deal?

 

[Pepsi90919]

AIM

 

[imported_Hi]

because you touch yourself at night

 

[BigJ]

mines under 12,000K. I don't know what the fvck you're using it for.

 

[TitanDiddly]

Ad space. Mine is using ~11k right now, and I have DeadAIM with no ads.

 

[KhoiFather]

WTF, this is some crap.

 

[Malak]

Ok I installed AIM for use with MXO, but it has already crashed once on me, and the ads are retarded and annoying. What are all the different other programs for aim? I've heard of deadaim and gaim, any others? Not talking about trillian or miranda. Links to their sites would help too.

 

[HonkeyDonk]

28,XXX K for me.

 

[amol]

mine is only using 14,620

 

[tami]

just get an ad remover. the new ads on AIM are really huge RAM hogs.

 

[Goosemaster]

Trillian is using 27


Not that I care

[KhoiFather]

You have to pay to download DeadAim? That sucks

 

[Baked]

Only 14K for GAIM.

 

[sniperruff]

7044k. you suck at teh AIM.

 

[KhoiFather]

What version of AIM are you guys using?

 

[Malak]

I only get 9500k usage from Xfire, and not only does it have an ad, it also has a lot more features than AIM. Seems like AIM is just poorly coded, or is doing something else it shouldn't be doing. I'm uninstalling it right now.

I'm at 6.5mb but I'm on v4.8.2616. If you don't upgrade you don't enjoy the RAM consumption

 

[KhoiFather]

Are the old versions trust worthy?

Yes. There isn't a lot missing in them anyway.

 

[FleshLight]

3,846 for me. I'm running Aimmutation and have 3 chat windows open.

 

[neutralizer]

8.8K with trillian.
