I just checked the taskmanager and to my surprise Avedesk is jumping from 1000kb to 5000kb and then to 20000kb... it jumps up and down between these values... I have the expandable weather config (3 sysstats)...dashboard datebook...notes..the clock (dont remember name but a an analog with black and grey colors)..curscreen and searchbar...
So is this normal to have the memory usage jump between these values?
Ave = 903 kb here.
Not that much a Widgets; Trashcan, 3 disk-icons.
Maybe it's the type of widgets? I can imagine that players,
calenders en sysmeters in perticular use up quite a few resources?
As we speak..
AveDesk.exe - 3,642 kB
5 icons, a clock, and the weather. I thought this was normal, but after reading the post above mine, I'm wondering if it should be that high as well.
[edit] It also uses about 10% CPU most of the time. [/edit]
Here... 4,200K... CPU 0%~2%... 3 shotcuts with 128x128 icons; one recicle bin widget with 128x128 icon; Default FTP widget; Digital clock + digital CPU monitor; 4 panels weather widget; iTunes Widget with StonePiece skin.
BTW... iTunes is running with a amazing Jethro Tull song. 
avedesk has a memory cleaner routine that minimize the used memory. The memory used can be different depending on the desklets you're using, sysstat can need much more memory than a simple shortcut desklet.
The CPU Usage is also function of the desklets, if you have desklet that update often (like sysstats, clocks....) it will eat up your CPU
by my way i have 4 folder desklet, 1 note, 2 drives, 1 recycle bin with my effects applied and it takes 1.3MB and less than 1% of my CPU (celeron 1.7GHz) so i'm really happy with it
