Memory usage: KeePassPortable1.10 vs. Portable KeePass1.10

I've started closely monitoring memory usage on my system recently using Process Explorer and today I noticed that KeePassPortable1.10 was using ~35M of memory. After restarting it a couple of times, it's clear that's the standard. That seemed exorbitant since the KPP directory is only 1.3M on my disk.

So I went over to the KP site and downloaded their Portable version of KP1.10. Low & behold, this version uses less than 4M running with the same database & ini file.

Any idea why KPP is grabbing up so much memory?

Thanks,
Tobias

I will try to reproduce your study tonight and see what I can figure out by poking it with a stick.

Update, anyone?

Any thoughts to share on this?

I noted that the recent Firefox Portable 3 beta 4 release "has an updated launcher". But I'm too lazy to go search thru the forums right now to see if there is any connection to be made there.

Thanks,
Toby

No

I have no idea. But I tried it and it was the other way around.
Their Zip file used 10 Mb and the one from here used 7 (+4 Mb Launcher). So I don't know why you had that problem but I couldn't reproduce it.

Sorry

Slipped out of my brain. My findings mirror those of Simeon. using the same kdb PAF is about 7MB +4MB launcher. Locally installed and KeePass Zip version is just under 10MB. I would try backing up your kdb, completely deleting your KeePassPortable directory and then reinstalling from a fresh download. See if it still climbs to 35MB.
