feature request: reduce memory usage

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)
