The regular Opera used to do the same thing for me, until I manually removed "Automatic" Memory/cache control and it stopped over micro-managing the memory.
Right now I have 7 tabs open and have been using the browser since my previous post. Memory size is fluctuating, but actually decreasing. It was 202MB, now that I finish this post it is at 198MB and alternating between .792 and .800. I would suggest you try removing "Automatic " memory size and change the disk cache to 50MB in your Preferences -> History tab. |
I'm a big Opera user however I'm not too happy with this release.
I was browsing with several tabs open and decided to check the opera memory usage. To my horror I noticed that it was using over 300mbytes with only 5 tabs open. This is of course unacceptable, I'm pretty confident that this is due to a memory leak. I tested with just opening google.be and entering a search string. I opened taskmanager to check out memory consumption. Eventhough the loading was done I kept seeing the memory usage go up in regular intervals at a steady pace. Obviously a memory leak. |
Opera 9.51 is released. You can now disable "Remember Content on Viewed Pages", and memory usage returns to Opera 9.27 levels.
Right now with 9.51: ~15 tabs open, been surfing for ~3 hours. 65mb RAM and 101mb page file in use. Much, much better...
