Is there a way to reduce the memory usage of Google Desktop?

    Hi All,

    The google desktop process "GoogleDesktopCr" is consistently using
    around 320M of RAM. Is this normal? It's not even doing anything. It's
    finished indexing the computer.

    If I can't figure out how to tame it's appetite I'm going to have to
    remove it. I just can't spare that much memory all of the time.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I for one do not understand why folks want to allow Google to know
    everything that is on their computers!

    You have three choices.

    o Install more RAM in to the computer
    o Rewrite the software to be shorter
    o Uninstall the software

    These types of utilities use a lot of resources. The more you add, the
    more space and memory is required. Also, adding all these extra
    programs that run in the background contribute to slowing down the
    computer.
