Solved Memory usage

In an effort to lessen the memory consumption, I used the very simple debug system in Joomla, and that claimed that placing the module 'kunena latest' on the frontpage consumed 9 mb on its own, that seems excessive, anybody that has any experience in that area, is the only cure to remove it, or what can be done?

The problem most likely stems from the fact we have to pull data from several different places. We have to work with articles and kunena topics/posts. We can help alleviate the problem by optimizing the queries a bit so they are doing more simple tasks. And remember the consumption of memory is not continuous, that is how much memory was needed to complete that query.

Nothing can be done at the moment. It is also a low priority issue for us at the moment. If someone on our team has the time they will take a look at it, but we are busy enough as it is elsewhere. We also recommend contributions through pull requests on Github.

In PHP just loading a file with a small class but not actually running any code in it can sometimes consume more than 1MB of memory. That's likely because of PHP loads its extesions during parsing time. So let's say we use JSON in that class -- it makes PHP to load the JSON extension.

In some other page you could have got a result where latest uses almost no memory at all.

Ah, ok, thankyou for clearing that up!
