Digsby: It Doesn’t Eat Your RAM Anymore!

Digsby has been a rising star in instant messaging. Its social client can not only link to your Gtalk and AIM, but to your Facebook, Linkedin,Twitter, and Gmail. But it faces stiff competition from services like Meebo, Trillian, Pidgin, and dozens of other web and desktop-based IM clients.

Today, Digsby released a major upgrade to its desktop IM software. While many of the features, like performance optimization, bug fixes, and improved file transfers for AIM and MSN, the combined group of features significantly improves Digsby and addresses some of its biggest weaknesses (i.e. hogging too much RAM).
The core of the new Digsby update is its streamlined build. It’s CPU usage is supposedly 50 percent lower, which seems relatively accurate given that my Digsby RAM usage has dropped significantly (it was well over 100,000 kb of RAM before, but is between 60-70,000 now).
