Hi,

upon starting memory usage of QS gets to 2.2GB on my machine (Real Mem in Activity monitor). Then it drops to around 480MB, which is still a lot. I don't have a lot of items in my Catalog.

My machine is 2011 MBP, with 4GB RAM, running 10.6.8 64-bit. QS is not 64-bit.

I don't see any unusual messages in Console, except this one:

30.10.11 13:27:16	Quicksilver[637]	Error	Quicksilver(637,0xa085e540) malloc: *** mmap(size=738197504) failed (error code=12)
*** error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

This one is quite frequent, but I don't know if it is related:

30.10.11 18:09:43	[0x0-0x10010].com.blacktree.Quicksilver[250]	Notice	Sun Oct 30 18:09:43 dromi.home Quicksilver[250] : kCGErrorCannotComplete: CGSDeviceSynchronize: Invalid device window

I'm willing to investigate this issue further, if you give me some pointers :)
