Or so little! Really, expecting anything less in the times of web-browsers that use over 1GB of RES and desktop operating systems refusing to run with less then 3GB is just not realistic. There are various reasons why Amarok could be using more memory then expected: - use of a MemoryCollection like DAAP, UPnP (w/o UPnP::Search support), USB mass-storage devices, etc. - Very large collection: we just need more memory to handle them and the internal mysqle database will require a bit more to run itself as well. Both will have way bigger query results. If however you find Amarok's memory usage keeps increasing steadily over the runtime we probably have a mem-leak. But it doesn't seem that way if after 2 days the usage was still less then currently my qtcreator uses. But thanks for bringing it up anyway, we'll probably be doing some memory usage reductions towards mobile platforms one day.
