iPhoto 09 has been plagued by performance issues. One of the most annoying ones is the memory leak problem in slideshow mode. I used System Monitor and have seen memory footprint steadily grew from 200MB to 1.2GB while playing an endless loop of video files.
Last weekend Apple released a patch that finally fixed this problem. This feels great and we can now enjoy family video clips for as long as they want now.
It saddens me greatly to learn a couple weeks ago after my travel that Maxine has passed away. It’s been a grave possibility ever since she was hospitalized a short while ago (see my previous post), but it still felt so sudden and unexpected.
It is also moments like this that makes us contemplate our lives on this planet – how do we take full advantage of it while we are still able, how do we spread the love to others in our lives. Maxine sets a great example for us to follow: always love what you have, love your friends and family, enjoy life fully, and learn as much about life as possible.
You will be deeply missed.
