Ok, I noticed this from the very first few hours of using Tiger, but I didn't think much of it. However it has been getting steadily worse, the main culprits are Sys Stat (3rd Party) and Unit Converter (Apple) widgets. Sometimes I notice my iMac slowing down, I check Acitivity Monitor and notice that these widgets are using 100MB of RAM each! One time I caught them using 200MB each!
I'm not sure whats going wrong here, as all the other widgets act fine using about 10-20MB each.

Anyone got any idea what might have happened, also could someone maybe send a copy of their Unit Converter to check if mine is not corrupt?

Thanks in advance

I too, have noticed system slow-downs in Tiger if it hasn't been rebooted in more than about 5 or 6 days. I checked my activity monitor, and my weather and stock widgets are now using more than 70 megs of real RAM! Also, my VM size is more than 5 gigs (is this normal? I have just "normal" programs open, mail, safari, ichat, itunes, ical, and 768 MB of RAM). I have definitely noticed more disk thrashing under Tiger than in Panther.

jdogg: VSIZE is a pretty useless number, I wouldn't worry about it.

jdogg: Did you have that memory installed by Apple, or is it 3rd Party memory?
