Memory consumption problem

[nsdevaraj]

Hi,
I have added the spring framework to my existing, Cairngorm but after two days work.. the result my project ate 15% more local memory than usual . solution: i did revamp to the older structure by removing spring from my project. I will be much interested to see IoC (especially spring) in my project.

Any help, will be encouraged.

Hi Devaraj,

is it possible to check your application with the memory profiler in Flash Builder 4 Beta? That should give us a better idea of where the memory is going.

thanks,

i checked with memory profiler for both versions, with and without spring actionscript..
the spring actionscript packages were not consuming or having memory leaks..

The only difference between the both are, i am instantiating a lot of classes at beginning it self in spring actionscript?

Hi there Devaraj,

how much more memory exactly are we talking about here? I mean, if your application used to consume 10MB and adding spring actionscript adds another 1.5 meg, then yes, it would be rather much. But if it was 200K, and now it grew by 20 or 30k, it wouldn't be that weird since the container does consume its own piece of memory naturally.

As for all the objects you're instantiating at startup, are they necesary? I see quite a few delegate classes getting instantiated, which are quite commonly transient objects i.e. they get instantiated and destroyed after use. So maybe you need to mark those objects with scope="prototype"?

hope this helps a little,

cheers,

Roland

The case is as you mentioned, it was 100MB and now it is 120MB with Prana.. The using prototype scope for delegates, does not helped much.

Hey there,

20MB extra is a lot indeed, which objects take the most memory according to the profiler? Is it the Accessors?

Somehow I have the feeling that as3commons.reflect is the culprit here, but I'm not sure yet...
