Indeed, and it doesn't only seem to apply to Windows software. Linux
and FreeBSD software are affected too. Just last week I tried
FreeBSD's "native GUI desktop environment" called Lumina, which
includes a file manager application. By pure chance I ran htop and
noticed the Lumina file manager uses 500MB RAM.
Is it because of QT 5 ?
It says on the internets that Lumina uses QT 5
Or, in Lazarus terms: To keep on topic ;-) do lazarus QT apps act much
more slow or use up much more memory.
I'm always interested in the actual culprit of the issue - it could even
be a memory leak that just needs fixing!
