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

    Thanks for the reply.  I do know that McAfee uses a similar amount of memory not quite as much.  I am baffled by memory usage of both.  I personally have a machine with 16G RAM but let's suppose you have a base with 4G RAM.  That means 17% of your memory is allocated to an antivirus program.  That really is a hard sell.
