Working set is flushed constantly after reaching or passing 30MB usage.
This has been introduced since 760, which was working fine
...was wondering why messenger started to lag when switching to it after awhile...
gone back to 5.11 via the links cookierevised provided (thanks cookierevised), and the problem is gone.
edit
actually, 5.11 was affected as well, except it only starts doing it after opening a chat window.
gunna need to set everything back to defaults it seems
or not...
Found out i had a backup of 5.10.750
replaced 5.11.760 and the Working set is not flushed in either case
Summarized
using Windows Live Messenger 14.0.0416
5.10.750 no apparent issues with the memory being flushed
5.11.760 flushes the working set when a chat window is open
5.5.761 flushes the working set when just sitting on the contact list
Confirmed:
Reproduced it under a Clean Windows XP virtual machine with a fresh install of WLM and 760/761, and confirmed the results summarized above
5.10 - open a chat window, mem usage is fine
5.11 - open a chat window, after about 10 seconds mem usage flushed to 3MB
5.5 - memory usage flushed to <3MB just sitting on the contact list
