Strange, OMM I still never exceed 1.3% without the idle handler. I know! If you want to get the percentage of memory usage down, then install more RAM. ; )
I guess I still don't see the issue. Why is the memory usage an issue?

Definitivelly, I didn't explain properly my problem... ;-)

I'm not working with an idle handler, but with a simple open handler saved
as stay-open application...

And in the process viewer, I get this:

cpu - memory
0 - 7,9

I've been observing this and it decreases the memory usage before lots of
minutes running, until a value of "4.3%"... This is better than 7.9, but I
still think this is *much* for an app which is doing *nothing*...
I'd prefer a value similar to my "iBeeZz User Agent", which keeps a stable
memory usage of "0.7%" ;-)

(maybe I will get 0.7 before some days running?)

Cheers...

I don't follow this. Using the script...

on open x
display dialog x as string
end open
on idle
return 1000
end idle

My process viewer shows 1.3% mem usage and 0% processor usage when
idling.
top shows 473 staOpenDro 0.0% 0:01.49 2 60 150 1.60M
8.92M 6.73M 73.9M

Perhaps you've got a low value for the return? If it's triggered by the
open handler then you shouldn't have it activate very often.
