Has anyone else noticed the inordinate amount of memory Pro takes up?

Has anyone else noticed the inordinate amount of memory Pro takes up? I can't even get it to load a layer in the 3D mode it is taking up so much system memory. According to Windows Task Manager it is taking 1,873,000K of memory. 72% of my physical memory is being used right now and the bulk of it is Pro.

Now that you mention it, ArcGIS Pro is tackling 930,000K of memory in a simple project I opened only rendering a basemap. ArcMap in a similar session as 200,000K of memory. I guess when we spec out computers go for memory

do you know if it can use all available memory?

Good question Dan though I don't know the answer. I told myself I would move over to ArcGIS Pro, use it daily, and learn more about it. But admittedly I return to ArcMap when I need to get something accomplished . So, I'm still quite a novice on ArcGIS Pro and it's capabilities.

I thought Pro was a full on 64bit app, so it should be able to address tb's of memory.

Havn't played with it yet. Sort of hanging back. Plus the news of the "rental" subscription is irritating.

Next laptop will have a minimum of 16Gb of ram

My computer has 8GB of RAM and it seemed to be struggling to run Pro.

A coworker just bought a $14,000 8 core server with 256 GB of memory to do show heavy duty processing. He was running a process that was working on a polygon feature class with over 10 million polygons. Task manager showed that Arc Pro was using about 55 GB of memory. Impressive, yet scary!

256 GB...grief...I am getting 32GB...time for a phone call to update before it is all built

I have the strong feeling there are some bad memory leaks in ArcGIS Pro that need fixing (ArcGIS Pro 1.2). I have worked on the conversion of a tool that now runs in both ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro, and that needs to generate a couple of hundreds of layers in the TOC, setting symbology and definition queries. This runs fine in ArcMap, but it simply won't finish in ArcGIS Pro. It gets stuck somewhere in the process, with memory soaring above 6-7GB.

When I limit the number of the layers to generate, it may finish.

But after generating a small number of layers (+/- 15), I accidentally opened the attribute tables of all the layers at once... (which reference a relative small dataset of +/- 50k records). ArcGIS Pro dutifully started to try to open all of them, but it was terribly slow, despite limited number of records and fully indexed fields. Not wanting to wait for this, I hit the close button of the last opened table still in the process of opening, and subsequently, ArcGIS Pro became totally unresponsive and memory went up to 13GB before I decided to kill it (machine has 16GB).

Marco - please report this issue (and include repro case/tool/machine specs) to Esri Support, so we can have a developer take a look.

Jeremy,

If you truly want to pursue these ArcGIS Pro issues I reported here, I need to be able to contact you via a private message. I can not do this at the moment, because you are not following me, or we aren't 'friends' yet here in GeoNet (oh these modern times where anybody needs to be a friend to get anything done on the internet...)

The tool I am talking about is a giant personal project I have been working on for the past three years. I can make this available to you for testing through some direct contacts I have at ESRI inc, but not here on GeoNet.

Thanks Marco. I've "followed" you presently, please feel free to send me your repro. I
