Twittering and Memory Leaks

For several weeks now, I have been using TweetDeck extensively on my Macs and PCs.
For one it is cross-platform due to the underlying AdobeAir Framework and it has some features that make it unique.
Now this is all good and charming but today I found my PC pretty unresponsive when logging-in in the morning.
Surprise – Tweet deck was hogging some massive 3GB of Memory (I only have 2GB physical RAM).![]()
This to me smells like a memory leak… Now I’ll have to think of shutting it down in the evening…
BTW – This doesn’t seem to happen on the Mac – Surprise

Have to agree, Tweet Deck crucifies my system after it’s been running an hour or so..
TweetDeck is still RAM-hungry on the Mac as well. Love it, but I have to switch it off from time to time.
