I have to adress this higher memory usage in newer versions of Spiffy. I'm currently using a portable 0.5.2 version. The reason I still haven't updated to newer versions is memory consumption. Older version running on Windows XP consumes about 500 Kb inactive running process, and about 3-4 Mb when active. The new versions that I tested (version 0.5.11) uses 21-22 Mb inactive!
That is a lot for a Gmail notifier, ie my windows media player 11 uses only 8-10 Mb while playing an mp3 file. It might sound like I'm splitting hairs here, but if I run 10 programs simultaneously. and they all consume unnecessary memory the system has to slow down. Just pointing the obvious here. I know Spiffy requires .Net framework. Maybe it's Microsoft's problem. I'm sticking with 0.5.2 for time being...

PS. I love Spiffy just because it has such a small memory footprint
