WordPress 3.4 Memory Usage

  • I’ve almost completed upgrading all of my sites to 3.4. I use a plugin to monitor memory usage. In all of the 10 sites upgraded I’ve noticed that my All-Time memory usage has gone up after upgrading. I haven’t benchmarked the amount, but it looks in the neighborhood of 1mb.

    I was under the assumption that this newest update would decrease the amount of memory usage. Am I incorrect in this assumption?

    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

  • Don’t misunderstand me. I didn’t mean that the core devs aren’t acutely conscious of memory consumption issues. as I said, we’ve had release where memory consumption has dropped as code has been reworked and tightened up. But ongoing development is always a balancing act between adding new features (as requested by users), ensuring a decent level of backwards compatibility and keep WP as lean & mean as possible.

    most of the sites I develop (and many others) are not simple/plain sites using default themes/plugins/functionality.

    And there’s the rub. You need/want extra functionality. That’s always going to come at a price.
