DotSyntax has released the new test build of Digsby, with numerous fixes to memory leaks. On some systems, RAM usage would reach up to 150mb, and the new architecture reduces it by over 50%. Memory usage should now range from 20-50mb.

Menus and buttons now run up to 2-3 times faster, which is a really good. (It used hang my system whenever I hit the menu to change fonts by accident)

Bugs are still being worked out, of course, and a new build for the public will be released very soon. This should build should provide a huge performance gain over previous build. It’s a shame this isn’t out for Mac and Linux yet. (You can, however, sign up to be notified when it is.)
