Spanner ReviewAvoid like the plague! - Version: 0.7, 1/14/2007 12:40AM PST

Not sure what the heck was going on but with 10.4.8, Spanner was making more and more of my hard drive space disappear. Soon as I deleted Spanner my real estate was back to normal.

Spanner CommentaryMemory Leak - Version: 0.7, 6/13/2006 04:47AM PST

When computer is left on overnight, the process SpannerAge has a bad memory leak. my uptime is 19 hours right now, and spanner age has taken over 3.6GB RAM. My system has 2.5GB installed real memory, so it's made everything real slow.

Apparently Spanner isn't quite compatible with OSX 10.4....
