I'm trying to figure out if I'm the the only one seeing that MicrosoftMouseHelper.app is taking up an insane amount of memory over a period of time. Could users please run the command below in Terminal.app and reply with the output. Thanks.

uptime && (top -l1 | grep -E "(PID | MicrosoftM)")


Here's output from my machine:

Thanks everyone for posting. Looks like it could be something specific to my installation.

On my machine it is taking up 16 MBs and growing after about an hour and half of uptime. Some of you haven't even hit 2 MB with 8 days uptime. Interesting...

Thanks again.
