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

    I am using the latest version 9.9.2 over my Macbook Pro and in my case It's going a lot lot higher. So I have 15 GB of RAM and sometimes, SophosEventManager eats up 15+ GB of RAM, which is very much strange behaviour. Due to this, my development work is badly impacted. Before installing Sophos I could run the Android Studio and Xcode project in parallel with 2-3 projects actively open, but after installing Sophos, I am not able to run Xcode alone. In my case Sophos consumes memory between 3 GB - 15 GB and until unless you force kill it or restart your system, it keeps increasing the memory consumption. It seems this piece of software have got some VERY MAJOR MEMORY LEAKS.

    Same here. I'd be very happy to have a 679 MB memory usage like the opener...

    MacOS client has a really embarassing memory managment. It usually happens during Xcode compilation and Simulator sessions. We already tried to exclude Derived data and simulators folders with no luck. Unfortunately my company policies force me to keep it installed so please please please do something
