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

    Version 9.2 is mostly done, and will go out into preview in early September. Exact date isn't yet set, but we'll be much closer when we release 9.1 to all existing users in August.

    Not sure if that makes sense, but basically we have to upgrade the current users to the next major version before releasing a new preview. Our release process uses the preview option to get additional feedback from users before a full upgrade. Today's situation is that 9.1 is available for preview, and 9.0 is the generally avaiable release. In August we plan to retire 9.0 and upgrade everyone to 9.1. Once complete we can release the next preview. Our systems only allow one preview at a time.

    No committment on delivery of 9.3 at this point, we've had to do some rethink about implementation, those changes are very complex given we are changing everything about the on-access scanner.

    The problem with giving dates well in advance of things happening is that our predications about dates can be wrong. We put more emphasis on getting it right than meeting a particular date.
