Sophos 9.01 Memory Usage out of Control

mikedvzo

Memory Usage seems to be way up with version 9.  I mean really this is insane

SophosScanD 268MB

SophosANtiVirus 157MB

InterCheck 220MB

Sophos UI 12MB

Sophos SXLD 7MB

SophosConfigD 4MB

Sophos Autoupdate 11MB

I add these up and  get 679MB. I just removed it and loaded 8.x latest and get less than 200MB.  That is more than 3 times the amount of memory.  I tried this on a Mac Mini 2012 and a MacBook Pro late 2011 all with 10.8.4

    Hi mikedvzo,

    Thanks for the feedback. "Out of control" might be a little extreme. Its not out of control, but its definitely bigger than it used to be in version 8. Part of this is due to additional features (for example, one of the largest in your list is SophosScanD, its new in v9). Part of this is due to moving to 64-bit compilation. Part of it is due to architecture (more daemons in general e.g. SophosSXLD, SophosConfigD are new in v9).

    You will continue to see the product evolve, and overall memory consumption will change. Getting back to the v8 levels is not achievable, but there are improvements we have planned for upcoming major releases.
