I feel its memory leak issue should get more attention

Thanks, memory can be a bit leaky at times.

dfire Oct 16, 2016 View on HN

does it still have the memory usage issue?

That's no excuse for 17GB of memory usage...

Oh really interesting, will look into it! Was afraid it would leak memory.

They don't mention anything about memory fragmentation..
