DOpus performance problems

Hi! Lately DOpus has massive performance problems on my system (DO 9.5.4.0.3806.x86 on Vista SP2): High memory use:

high CPU use, and often not responding. Does anybody recognize this behavior?

Did you check the Other Troubleshooting section in the FAQs?

Regards, AB

High memory use is usually due to a shell extension, plugin, video codec or similar 3rd-party code leaking memory. See here, here and here for the most relevant FAQs (and here).

(It can also happen if you have a ridiculous number or size of images in your config for backgrounds etc. as they all get loaded into memory.)
