If you're on Virtue, it's been an off and on problem there for quite a while. If elsewhere, I dunno. It's a much much rarer occurrence on the other servers (at least from forum reports).
Dec out.

I have read reports that the new market interface caused memory leaks for some peoples' clients. I'm not sure if this was ever identified or fixed.|

Subjectively and anecdotally, I have seen evidence of this behavior in my own client. However, I run a RAM optimizer in the background that seems to work in reclaiming the memory space.

Interesting! More info on that, if you would, please?

Starjammer has a neat tool: However, I run a RAM optimizer in the background that seems to work in reclaiming the memory space. |

The program is called IObit SmartRAM. I picked it up as an add-on to their Advanced SystemCare tool suite.
It runs in the background and when CPU utilization is low it reclaims memory and swap space. You can also manually force it.
When CoH is spiking memory usage and it's not on, I can watch the client shoot up to hundreds of megs of memory utilization in the span of a minute or two. When it's running, the client will usually fluctuate between 60 to 80 megs, climbing and then getting reset.
The only problem I've noticed in using it is that when CoH is performing this behavior, SmartRAM itself starts swelling the swap utilization. I have to periodically exit and restart the tool to reduce it. SmartRAM only displays this behavior in conjunction with CoH while memory-hogging that I've noticed. EDIT--I run SmartRAM in the background all the time and it does not misbehave at all when CoH is not running, that I've noticed.
It's also only a delaying tactic, not a total solution. Eventually my graphics will start chopping and my framerate will drop into the single digits. Then an exit and restart or even a reboot may be called for. However, it's the difference between seeing this behavior 15-30 minutes after marketing and a few hours with intense marketing.
Thanks very much. Worth giving it a try for me. I'm only running 2 gigs and a bit of an old card, so it might or might not help me with my laggy spots. I don't seem to have as much of that as you do, but as said, worth a shot.

Annoying, market is frequently annoying.
Masterminds annoy everybody, sooner or later. Heck, Masterminds annoy themselves.
