Massive memory leak in 3106 (edit: and 3120)
(back up to the top you go... 3120/RC1 shows the exact same behavior)
Beta 3 appears to leak memory like a sieve on my Mac Pro.
At startup, without powering up a VM, Parallels takes a very respectable 40mb of real memory. However, the usage immediately starts ticking upward. After about 15 mins, again without a VM running, it's up to 200mb+.
Spinning up my XP Bootcamp VM (384mb memory size) raises the real memory usage, which is obviously expected. However, the usage continues to tick upward without bound. After leaving XP running overnight (doing nothing but running Outlook 2k3), Real Memory was over 1gb!
Ouch! Beta 3 finally fixes my Blackberry issues and brings me back from the Fusion public beta, but having to restart the application several times a day to reclaim memory is painful! I definitely did not see the same behavior in beta 1.
