Hi Joseph,

I noticed that the memory dialog window (which is shown if you click
on the memory display in the lower right corner of the GUI) is updated
nonstop. Maybe you are you refering to this (unexpected) behavior? I
have just added a GitHub for this [1].

If you refer to memory usage in generally, all I can say is that the
memory consumption, which is indicated by a java instance, is not
necessarily the amount of memory that's currently used by the JVM. I
have also observed that the behavior differs with each Java version.

I didn't notice any unexpected behavior by myself, but feel free to
give me an update if you should encounter things like out of memory.
You could e.g. limit available memory in the basexgui script to e.g.
64m, using the -Xmx64m flag, and observe if the GUI can cope with
that.

Best,
Christian
