    What about used memory of such nice program ?
    Even it is on "back" - it use 39MB of RAM (win'xp sp3)
    Previous version used almost 25 and so on...
    Can be issued light version, w/o design options or something like that ?
    Just a thought :)

      Hi,

      I have had a look at this - the jump in memory use between the two versions is probably due the fact that have started using an externall DLL for file processing ( FileHelpers.dll ), which has been done in preparation for supporting portable versions of PuTTY.

      However , the memory reported in Task Manager can be a bit misleading.  The following article is worth a read if you are interested:

      Unfortunately the .NET runtime doesn't give me much control over this ( but I have run PSM through a .NET profiler to check I'm not doing anything silly ).  As for a light version , I don't believe that many people would want to swap functionality for a reduced memory footprint, so I don't think I will investigate that option.

      Hope that helps
      Kind Regards
      David
