V22 Beta 1
Windows 64-bit
Upgrading from SlickEdit Pro 2016 (v21.0.3.0 64-bit)
There seems to be something in my config that is causing Beta1 to take a long time to start up and consume a lot of memory. This only happens on the initial startup after install and it's definitely related to copying the config from the older version because it doesn't happen if I start with a clean config (vs.exe -sc C:\Temp).
Here is what happens:
When I launch the application, I very briefly see the small window that says it's copying the config from the older version. But that's visible for less than a second--it appears and then disappears. Then there is nothing visible at all, but Task Manager shows that vs.exe is continually increasing it's memory usage. After about 5 minutes, the main application window appears and is fully functional. But Task Manager shows that memory usage is still about 30GB. VS doesn't seem to release this memory (I waited several minutes). After closing the app and starting again, memory usage is normal (about 122MB).
My first suspect was the location of my vsdelta directory for backup history, because recently I had set this to be at the top-level SlickEdit config directory (C:\Users\me\Documents\My SlickEdit Config\vsdelta). But after some testing, this does not appear to be the cause of the issue. I even tried having V21 create a new vsdelta directory from scratch at the default location--but still I see the same problem when V22 creates its initial config.
I'd rather not post my full config tree since it contains copies of files with proprietary data. So what can I do to try and find the cause of this problem?
