virtualbox.org

I am running 4.3.22 just downloaded and installed today. I noticed that it is using a lot of memory.

The host is windows 7, 8G of ram,

I have one guest set to 1024MB of memory, and virtualbox is currently using 1946MB of ram, and constantly climbing.

The guest is Unbuntu 14.04, updated as of today, and then I reinstalled the guest tools, and rebooted.

What can I do, or what might I be doing wrong that is causing virtualbox to keep going up in memory?

Thanks,

Scott

an update: Virtualbox used up to 5G of ram before I had to kill the guest and restart it.

Minimum information needed for assistance.

It might also helped if you searched for all previous discussions of this subject. The phenomenon is far from new.
