Almost 1GB of RAM for DisplayLink Manager?

[tony359]

My macOS is telling me that DisplayLink Manager 16 is sometimes using almost 900MB of RAM.

Isn't that a bit excessive?

I'd add a screenshot but the limits are set to 620x280. This is 2026, we don't have 1024x768 monitors anymore! :)

Hi tony359,

Key question is whether you observe this number to be periodically high, ie. while having 4 screens connected and there is at least some activity on the screens?

Hi Szymon,

Thanks for your reply.

I have 2 monitors connected to my Targus Dock, they run at 2560x1440.
I don't see that value so high all the time but I don't look at it all the time. I didn't realise the usage is dependant on how lively the image is on screen, I'll keep that in mind.

Right now it's 276MB but I have observed very high RAM usage more than once.
