No, my guess is that you were playing with the new animated icons feature, and the previous beta wasn't properly disposing of them from memory.

You have to keep in mind that while animated icons are fun to play with, some of those icons are so huge and have so many frames that *a single* animated icon can add as much as 10MB to WorkShelf or Nexus memory usage.



Update settings won't even affect WorkShelf's Internet usage, since all update checks are made via the external Winstep Update Manager (WsUpdate.exe) application. WorkShelf will access the Internet to retrieve weather information, synchronize the time with Internet time servers, etc...

Anyway, if you want to discuss this further please start a different thread.

KRAZDKILLER,

Those issues would have to be addressed by Jorge. Code injection by av/am software is usually just a snippet(very small) that looks for any suspicious behavior within the process being executed. It shouldn't appreciably affect the memory usage.

KRAZD,

I see that Jorge jumped in while I was typing my response. Yes, the animations are the likely culprit. Cute, as eye-candy, but you pay the price.

Av/am won't affect memory(noticeably), but can have a significant impact on performance since every time the process does anything, the snippet has to sniff it out for malicious behavior.
