FAQ¶

When will GeekTool 3 be release
I hope to release a first Release Candidate around mid-august 2009, it depends on bug reports I receive, so far, no big problems are detected

Should I be concerned about the memory GeekTool uses ?
Yes and no.

Look at activity monitor, and check RSIZE number. It should be reasonable, since this is the real memory the application is using for itself.

Don't pay attention to high VSIZE. From mikeash.com :

(For 64-bit programs, the virtual address space is virtually unlimited, and so this column is of little use. For example, garbage collected apps in 64-bit immediately allocate a 64GB chunk of virtual address space just to make the accounting easier. This has no bearing on your actual memory usage and is completely harmless, although it tends to freak out users who go groveling around Activity Monitor.)

There is a bug, what should I do ?
Report it ! If you have a problem with GeekTool, please consult the issue tracking system to see if somebody else already reported that issue.
