Fix DisplayLinkUserAgent using over 4.5GB (~30%) of memory on Mac
macOS Mojave 10.14.5
16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
This is addressed moving forward via the macOS app with features being added currently.
The macOS app (1.x+) is replacing the classic driver with kernel extensions (5.×.x).

I’ll be straight about it because I used to roll my eyes at these services too. During my second year at a university in Chicago I hit a wall with a brutal constitutional law class. The professor kept referencing Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes and expecting us to write at that level. That’s when I first searched for law essay help for students https://essaypay.com/law-essay-writing-service/ and ended up reading an https://topessaycompanies.com/best-essay-services/essaypay-com-review/ EssayPay.com analysis and rating on a student forum. What surprised me wasn’t the writing itself but how the draft showed the argument structure. It forced me to rethink how I build claims and evidence. Later I even used them again for https://writeanypapers.com/research-proposal-writing-service/ help understanding research proposal structure when I was preparing a sociology project about student debt after the 2008 financial crisis. The paper they sent wasn’t something I copied blindly. I studied the logic behind it, the pacing of the argument, the way sources were layered. Weirdly enough, my grades improved after that semester because I finally understood what professors had been asking for all along. Sometimes you just need to see a solid example before the academic fog clears.

Hallo! Wenn man müde wird, ist es besonders wichtig, eine Aktivität zu finden, die einem hilft, durchzuatmen. PlayJonny war genau das Richtige für mich. Das Spiel https://play-jonny.at ist ruhig, leicht verständlich und unkompliziert. Kurz gesagt: Es macht Spaß und entspannt, besonders wenn man eine kurze Pause braucht. Manchmal musste ich es nochmal versuchen, aber das hat mich nicht gestört. Am Ende fühlte ich mich leichter und ruhiger. Ich kann es nur empfehlen.

Hi, I was trying to figure out a clear way to organize all the tasks and payments I needed to track for a project, but it felt overwhelming. That’s when I stumbled upon https://essays.studymoose.com/do-my-homework and decided to give it a try. It helped me break down complex information into structured, easy-to-follow steps, and even suggested ways to manage everything efficiently. I ended up completing all my assignments on time, and having that clear guidance made the whole process much less stressful and way more manageable.

MacBookPro, 8GB RAM, 10.14.6. Looking in Activity Monitor after several days of work (without rebooting), DLUA sits at 2.66GB memory usage from just 3 threads—by far the most of anything running on my machine. After reboot, it comes back up as using 5.3MB (no, that's not a typo).
I am running the latest available DL driver (5.2.1), and have verified that the kext is enabled.

Displaylink agent 5.2 consumes 2GB + and up to 4.5GB for me.

I am having the same problem- I have to force close the DisplayLinkUserAgent app every day or two or it slowly consumes more and more. I've seen it grow as large as 8GB before, though I usually catch it before then.
Mac OS X 10.14.6
30GB RAM (2x16GB DDR4@2400 MHz)
Also running version 5.2 of the Display Link software (the latest version available as of this writing) -

Same thing for me, it arrived at 2GB of memory in 10 days of uptime (but most of it show up as "compressed").
(version 5.2, macOS 10.14.5, Dell D3100, two monitors)
