Hi Wendy,

It's unfortunately true that a lot of Windows applications tend to eat up memory over time.
I've just checked and my Trados 2015 that ran for about 8 hours managed to eat up to nearly 1 GB of RAM.
I closed it and started again and now... voila! 236MB of RAM.
So your complaint seems to be viable.
I don't know what SDL intend to do with it, but it seems that with more and more apps installed Trados eats up more memory.
If you add to this larger TMs and Termbases, I truly believe that Trados may display the "out of memory error".
I would really like to see Trados as a 64-bit application, because it could address then more memory and probably be a bit faster than it's now. I have an SSD disk, which is lightning fast, but Trados starts on it in about 15 seconds, which is quite long in my opinion. With a classical magnetic disk it took sooooooooooo long. Even Windows started faster :)
