Construct 2 resource hog?

Problem Description

____ Hi, I'm following the tutorials in the Level 0 ebook. Right now, I'm making their third game Jumble Art. I've noticed that in task manager, the C2 editor is using up to 800mb of memory, which slows my computer to a crawl. Other members on the forum have tested the game and they found similar issues. Maybe it's probably my computer that is a little outdated, but I'm posting this bug report just to make sure.

Attach a Capx

Yes it's a resource hog.

In that it will eat whatever you feed it.

A huge background for example.

Okay, that clears things up. I guess with html5 being relatively new, a lot of developers have to workout the kinks and make sacrifices to maximize performance.

It doesn't use that amount of memory for me. The editor with that capx only takes up 150 Mb on my machine according to the task manager. My system was new in 2007. The editor only takes 74 Mb with a blank capx.

Can't reproduce, editor only uses 200mb here with both layouts open. This is pretty tiny compared to today's machines with gigabytes of memory.

Hmmm... Not sure what's going on with how my laptop handles certain tasks. I see that puzzle 1 takes up the most memory when I close the other layouts. Anyway, I'll try making their next game in the ebook. Thanks for the help everyone!
