Yeah, I don't load the browser w/ content. I am on a PC, but I have found significant memory usage from adding folders. Haven't really delved into it. Just did a few basic tests. It makes since that it has to store this stuff in memory as indexes probably, but not sure exactly how it handles the other stuff (thumbnails etc.) What formats, how it caches etc...So not sure how much has to actually be taken up in ram.

No need to think outside the box....
    Just make it invisible.
