feature request: reduce memory usage

[zumba]

I just replaced smcFanControl with Macs Fan Control, but noticed it uses more than twice the memory- 38MB vs 15MB. Is it possible to reduce memory usage? Every spare little bit helps

Code: Select all

$ ps auxww | grep -i fan
me       2760   0.0  0.1  2546416  15684   ??  S     1:19PM   0:00.25 /Users/me/Applications/smcFanControl.app/Contents/MacOS/smcFanControl
me       2443   0.0  0.2   792080  38756   ??  S     1:09PM   0:20.07 /Users/me/Downloads/Macs Fan Control.app/Contents/MacOS/MacsFanControl -psn_0_7505704

Thanks for the suggestion.

The thing is that unlike smcFanControl - Macs Fan Control app is cross-platform and uses 3rd party framework (Qt), which is rather heavy. Plus our app is much more advanced than the mentioned app. That being said it has to 'eat' more ram to be so cool

Anyway we're constantly doing different optimizations so keep in touch with the app updates.

Hi zumba

Just a side note:
I'm not seeing the same mem usage in my iMac - (using MacsFan 1.1.9)
