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 Bob,

    I would like to follow-up on this report. I've recently upgraded to SAV 9.0.8 (under OS X 10.8.5) and the memory usage does seem excessive in comparision to v8. Luckily I have 10MB installed in my Mac Pro but, even so, after 8 hours of use (I shutdown and restart everyday) Sophos it utilising:

    Intercheck 160.4 MB

    SophosScanD 145.6 MB

    SophosAntiVirus 122.6 MB

    SophosAutoUpdate 21.7MB

    SophosUIServer 16.6 MB

    SophosSXLD 5.9 MB

    SophosWebIntelligence 5.3 MB

    SophosConfigD 5.3MB

    That's 483.4 MB in total and two of the top five processes by memory utilisation are Sophos processes. Is there anything more that can be done to improve (reduce) Sophos' memory utilisation? I also find it strange that I have so many different Sophos background processes running, especially when I have the Live Protection and two Web Protection functions disabled - so surely those two functions' processes shouldn't even be loaded?

    Cheers,


    Stuart
