Hi Alex,

Thanks for the new version of RDCMan We've upgraded from version 2.92 to the latest release, and I've noticed that even when idle, the new version seems to be using three times the memory. When connected to a session, the memory usage increases even more significantly.

I'm not a developer, so I can't provide a more detailed technical analysis, but I assume it might be related to the changes in the underlying architecture or additional features introduced in this version. Could you shed some light on what might be causing the increased memory usage?

Thanks again for your efforts

Let me know if you run into issues because of this. This is due to some foundational changes in MSTSC, I expect to see improvements here with future Windows updates.
