High memory usage Win 8.1

Options

Currently using v6.8.492 however this issue has been present in previous versions as well. 1PW seems to consume an inordinate amount of memory on both my Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 machines. For example, Windows 8.1 is currently using 109mb of RAM and on Windows 10 about 70mb. This seems excessive, especially considering that a 4000 row Excel file is open and consumes only 70mb. (The Chrome instances on the graphic represents 23 open tabs which don't appear to affect the 1PW memory.)

Certainly the app isn't supposed to consume this much memory, is it? I only have 339 passwords in my account, could there be corruption? I quickly reviewed the diagnostics log and didn't see much of substance file outside a lot of transactional rows due to syncs. This usage persists despite restarts and updates. I don't use virus protection beyond the Defender program embedded in Windows.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

    @RJC_CA, @kronikom: Thanks for getting in touch! That's pretty normal in my experience, though it will vary by usage. 100 megabytes is not much when you consider the gigabytes of RAM we all have nowadays. A single Chrome tab often takes up more than that, and some of us have a lot of stuff stored in 1Password. If I add up all my Chrome tabs, they're a lot more, so the browser is definitely the resource hog on my system. Certainly we'll see if we can have 1Password use fewer resources wherever possible...but people are mostly asking for more features, not less. But be sure to let us know if you encounter any performance issues, as that's something we're continually working to improve as well. Cheers! :)
