We see it use ram in the 2-5 gig range. Is that expected?
For the amount of data that’s in your Monitor, that’s not entirely surprising to see 2GB. 5GB seems excessive though. If you restart the Monitor, does it jump back up to 5GB, or is that something it grows to over time?
Fresh restart, it lingers around 80 megs for a while, then when the gui comes up shoots to 2 gigs for a bit, then down to 1 again (cpu going full tilt).
I start seeing the total job counter go up and up in 600 increments, and over a couple of minutes reaches our actual job count. Ram usage goes up to maybe around 1.1gigs.
At this point the monitor is not showing any jobs (status filters all turned off).
Turning on all filters to be shown, it takes about 30 seconds, and the jobs show up. Ram usage goes up to around 1.2 gigs, then starts fluctuating between 1.1 and 1.2, but overtime slowly creeping up. As i type this, its now over 1.2 gigs, and now dipping below (no user activity). CPU is mostly hovering around 100% usage on a single core.
Trying to delete ~10k jobs, selecting them is fairly quick, then right click menu takes about 15 seconds to come up. Being able to click Delete Jobs takes about 2-3 minutes (it does not highlight the option). After i click delete, ram usage starts going up steadily, reaching 1.8 gigs fairly quick (someone came by to ask me some question while i was testing this and before i could click “are you sure you want to delete=yes” so it could have been creeping up on its own to 1.8). Ill let it go, i imagine it will take a while…
after 6 minutes of the delete process running, its at 2.2 gigs of ram usage
Based on how long it took to delete 150 jobs earlier today, deleting these 10k might take a long time, so im not sure if i can monitor it all the way through…
yeah, we want to solve THAT particular problem as well… 
Deletion has been going for 29 minutes now, ram usage is up to 4.1 gigs.
Weird though, if i open a monitor on another machine, it looks like the jobs have already been deleted
After ~35 mins, the monitor disappeared :\

Looks like it was due to a memory issue (AccessViolationException). What we want to do is do all of this processing in a background thread so that the UI doesn’t lock up at all while the deletions are occurring. This is probably going to be one of our top priorities for 6.2.
Did the deletions finish properly i wonder…
If it goes into a background thread, what happens when you have a 40 min long deletion going on and you restart the monitor?
we’ll handle asynch cases. we’ve been doing work in stoke to that degree [simulation that can carry on after max closes etc]
