I have been experiencing large scale memory leaks with Display Fusion. Right now it is using more than 1GB of RAM. If I close the program and restart, it comes back normally, with 50MB or so. I am running the latest version (5.1.1)
Quick question, would you happen to be running BitDefender anti-virus on your system?

Yes, I am. Bitdefender Total Security, latest version.
Ok, there seems to be something in the BitDefender Active Virus Control heuristic scanner that's hooking DisplayFusion and causing it to leak handles. Unfortunately it's not something we can fix from our end, but you can add DisplayFusion.exe to the Excluded Processes list on the Antivirus Settings > Exclusions tab, then reboot and that should resolve the memory leak.
Thanks!

Keith,
That seems to have worked. Thanks!

Sorry about necroing this, but the BitDefender free edition I'm using doesn't seem to have exclusion settings. Any way around it?

I am experiencing the same issue. Recently installed BitDefender Free in place of Microsoft Security Essentials and noticed a large memory leak. I think I will just remove BitDefender if it is causing the problem.
