I run a lot of instances of MT4 on my old notebook from various brokers and recently I've noticed that they seem to be constantly chewing up more and more of my prescious memory.
I have 2GB of memory on the machine and after leaving the MT4's running for over 24 hours, then my memory consumption climbs to around 1.7GB.
When I close all the instances of MT4 and start them back up again then my memory usage falls to around 0.9GB.
To my understanding it would mean that on average each instance of MT4 leaks a bit over 100MB of memory per 24 hours. Now that's manageable if you have heaps of memory, but if you want to run these things for longer periods of time on a server with more instances, then it becomes a problem that requires constant baby-sitting.
Has anybody else noticed this?
Are there any guys (or gals) from Meta Trader lurking on these forums? Do you guys (or gals) noticed someting similar?
I'm running with the latest builds that were updated a couple of days ago.
I've also attached a graphic from my notebook to show you an example of what I mean.
