Feels like Zed consumes more memory than it used to

[ZombieHarvester]

Summary

Zed takes 1+ gigs of RAM lately for a small Elixir project with 4 tabs open after a few hours. After fresh start it's about 500 mb. So might be a leak

Is it the expected behavior?

Zed Version and System Specs

Zed: v0.174.5 (Zed)
OS: macOS 12.7.6
Memory: 16 GiB
Architecture: x86_64

Sad to hear this :s But unless we get some actionable information its hard to reproduce the issue. Can we get your settings.json?

[SomeoneToIgnore]

Also, seems that you're on macOS, can you debug it more?

1. Enable hierarchical grouping

2. Check out the biggest offenders:

3. Do lsof -p $PID for the generic processes like node or whatever else occupies a lot of memory.

[ZombieHarvester]

I have restarted it a couple hours ago, memory consumption went back to ~450mb
Now it went up again

But unless we get some actionable information

I understand, I'd love to help troubleshoot if you guide me

Only 2 offenders above 1 gb - Zed and WindowServer

I also recently reported Ruby LSP memory leak #24900 they might be connected, might be a coincidence

[SomeoneToIgnore]

Thank you for the info, sad, but this is Zed or its plugins indeed it seems.

I do not see anything instantly suspicious (some files are opened multiple times, such as DB which is odd..)

But indeed, Ruby and Toml (#13190) extensions seem to leak memory — seems that both are used in the project?

If you can share the project, it would be great so someone in the team can try it more.
If not, I can see no other way but to open Instruments/Valgrind/etc. and run it on a non-release Zed instance (as the *.dmg one disallows memory profiling in macOS it seems).

[maxbrunsfeld]

@ZombieHarvester Thanks for following up with more info.

Do you ever see this high usage on an open-source ruby project? If so, that would give us a way to try and reproduce.

[ZombieHarvester]

I haven't worked on open source, sorry don't have any code to share. I'll keep observing.

What is the normal memory usage for Zed?

Today I removed the Toml extension and didn't use the built-in console, only two tabs of Elixir code and the assistant pane. Memory usage slowly went up to 900 MB and dropped down to 350 MB immediately after I closed the project.
