Atom 1.18-beta0 massive memory problem #14436
Description
Description
Upgraded today to 1.18 beta 0 - seems to be big memory problem with just a few open tabs - on my macbook air (4gb ram) which worked fine, albeit a little slowly with 1.17.x. When I open the same project, about 8 tabs, I find over 12GB of memory allocated to Atom Helper (!) It always was a hog, but bearable, but this isn't bearable.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Atom (no problem yet)
- Open my project with ~8 tabs open (now we have a memory problem)
- Check Activity Monitor in mac
Expected behavior: Reasonable memory use, more like 1.17 betas
Actual behavior: Massively more memory used, grinding Mac to a halt.
Reproduces how often: 100%, but only after opening a project
Two screens showing 1.18 beta and 1.17, same project, same packages:
