techwiz2100 I am curious what it is doing. In the context of your questions and further testing with the latest 99.127-Beta on Mojave, I have found this using Activity Monitor:
-Memory Used/App Memory goes up by ~ 300MB every 25 seconds until it runs out of RAM
-Then the system switches to Compressed
-After that reaches several GB, it switches to Swap (though system performance impact is minimal...until it says completely out of memory)
-Memory bursts do seem to coincide with bursts of incoming network traffic though that traffic is ~ 10MB ~ every 25 seconds
-Closing the window is enough to release almost all the memory back to the system -- restarting Orion after that has a negligible impact on Memory Used/App Memory
Oddities:
-Memory Used is not fully explained by the Memory values in the process list under Activity Monitor's Memory tab
-When I first startup Orion, Memory Used goes up ~ 100MB starting with a blank window (this part is fine -- just mentioning as the baseline)
-Memory Used jumps almost another 900MB as soon as I go the page that streams the video but the total increase in Memory of the visible processes associated with Orion do not go up nearly that much (total Memory of the 4 visible processes is ~ 200-250MB)
-As above, Memory Used goes up ~ 300MB every 25 seconds once I start streaming and again the Memory of the visible processes associated with Orion do not go up much at all; no other process appear to have a material increase in Memory yet total Memory Used/App Memory just keeps growing
-Viewing processes via top(1) while the system is running out of RAM, purgable memory across all the proccesses is immaterial
WIth the above in mind, I went back and tested Catalina and it also has a leak -- just much smaller.
-Starting Orion 99.127-rc/Catalina on Catalina, Memory Used goes up 200-250 MB wtih a blank page
-Loading the page that streams, Memory Used goes up another 250-300MB (~ about 500MB total)
-Every 25 seconds, Memory Used goes up ~ 10 MB
-Every 25 seconds, Data Received in Network shows ~ 10 MB coming through
I had also tested Orion 99.127-Beta on Monterey briefly yesterday:
-Orion/Mojave won't stream that site -- endless spinning wheel/buffering (which I find odd and including in case a useful data point but otherwise a bit of a tangent to this issue and not something I would ask the developers to figure out given they already push out binaries specific to each OS version anyway)
-Orion/Catalina memory usage pattern appears similar to above under Catalina
-Orion/Monterey -- did not discern a leak after 5 minutes but should test again. If there is a leak it is a fraction of the Catalina leak which is already relatively small
