Yes. And Opera, running Runescape whether logged in or not, uses 80,000 - 140,000 K of Mem usage. My specs:

 

 

 

AMD Athlon 64 3200+

 

nVidia 6150 LE graphics card

 

1.18 GB RAM

 

2.2 gHz (rated at 3.5)

 

 

 

So clearly my specs are not a problem. What can I do about this? Swiftswitch was just as bad, and the official client was as well. Lowering the quality of the ads does little to help, or none at all. Nothing else is sapping a lot of the memory usage, except for explorer and svchost, can't terminate those.

 

 

 

Thanks...

 

 

 

Edit: After posting this, I checked the task manager and opera was running at 60,000 K memory usage. When I switched from the Tip.it tab to the RS tab, it jumped to 95. When I logged in, it jumped to 145, maxing at 153,000 K. So logging in DOES matter..

Is it actually slowing down and hindering your performance or is just something you noticed?

85%...wow thats carzy I got a computer with 1GHz and 512MB memory, it takes up less then 10%, I think somthings wrong, :lol: .

Just something I noticed. Although once in a while rs would freeze from lag for about 5 seconds and then return.

Is it your isp? Could be the problem just stabbing in the dark due to lack of info.

140,000 kilobytes = 140 megabytes of memory, which is about 12% usage on your PC's memory. It sounds like somthing else is hogging your memory.

That amount of memory shouldn't slow down your computer.

 

My firefox sometimes even uses around 200.000 KB.

 

And you all should remember that swapfiles also affect your computer's speed.

 

 

 

You might just have another system hog.

 

Try a virusscan or this little program:

 

process scanner

 

Download it and then double click on the [Caution: Executable File] file.

 

It will scan your computer and will show which processes are memory hogs.

Look at the top sticky in tec support on rs forums there is a problem they are trying to fix with memory, seems like its runescape doing it don't effect all users.

 

 

 

I been having a problem too, here is my post Quick Find Code = 25-26-68-55262090
