How to lower memory usage?

[ynut]

Hi,

I am using the 1.5 alpha,. I like it a lot but it is using like 2GB private bytes memory. My laptop has only 4GB memory. I would like to lower its memory usage. What is the best way to go about it?

Could you please send some database statistics:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Statistics
• What is shown at the top under Database?

You should see about 100MB per 1million files.
