If you enabled L2 cache, then this issue may be caused by L2 cache. We have fixed it in next versions.
Thanks.

Thank you for Information. i´m wating for next version

I get 100% ram useage too. I was hoping they were working on the issue.
Good info, GlAD they are working on it.

I believe that I may be seeing the same issue when enabling L2 caching i see that after a short period of use my system in use RAM increases until windows not only starts paging but applications start failing with memory errors.
setting L1 cache to 2GB read and L2 to 90GB immediately at start up memory usage increases by 2GB however it will then continue to increase from there until I stop caching.

This is on windows 8 Pro I7 920, 12GB, 3TB primary drive (split with 2.2TB C:) and a 120GB SSD for caching.
Running with only L1 enabled causes no issues.

I think the problem is no matter what setting you enter, it is still assign 1GB per drive.
If you cache all your drives and then times that by 1GB, that's how much system ram will be used as well.
I have 11 drives set at 128MB L1 cache, it's still chewing up 12GB of system RAM.
If i turn them all off, system ram returns to normal levels.
Have 32GB system RAM.

It sorted itself out. I was changing the block size to the same as the HD's/SSD's of the default NTFS size of 4K.
Leaving it all on the auto detected settings doesn't use excessive amounts of ram.
