Description
Reproduction steps
- use the ros taskmgr 0.4.15-dev-6760-gebf520f and let it run under Windows (I used XPSP3 here)
- open the Processes tab and select the column "Memory usage" to be shown
- now observe the taskmgr.exe own memory consumption
Observed result
If I run the ros taskmgr the memory consumptions goes slightly up and down, up and down, up and down (maybe something ranging from 4kbyte to 10kbyte) upon almost each refresh.
Just to make it clear: It is not leaking, just its display is unstable
Expected result
If I do the same with the taskmgr of XPSP3 that numbers stays rock stable, not the slightest toggling, even when leaving it run for minutes
This is not exactly a bug, more kind of an aesthetics-issue. But since taskmgr is used to observe the OS and its memory consumption, it would be cool if it would remain stable in its own memory consumption. I am pretty sure that Microsoft put great effort into achieving that.
Minimizing dynamic memory usage might help here.
For the record: This does not affect only the master-branches taskmgr, but all taskmgr versions down to releases/0.4.7 already. Not sure, when that started. If it was ever any better, then that would be many many years ago.
