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

    Many thanks for the comprehensive update Bob. The new 9.2 and 9.3 updates sound like they will really help with memory utilisation and I look forward to trying them out in the future.

    Incidentally I tried quitting the 'SophosScanD' process through Activity Monitor and it is immediately restarted. So it doesn't seem like it is possible to safely shutdown that process under 9.0.8?

    Kind regards,

    Stuart
