tmux has been used a lot of memory on my system, especially when scrolling buffer is large enough (I often have > 10k lines of things ).

I have often executed `pkill -9 tmux` and saved my day. I hope the rust version can help a bit here?

Tmux has configurable scrollback buffer size, maybe set-option -g history-limit something-smaller in your config?

How much is a lot? Even 10,000 lines of text should be on the order of megabytes, right?

I am using tmux with a 200,000 line history and have no issues.

Also, in 2017-2018 I contributed a few fixes for memory leaks related to buffer history, so make sure you are using a recent version.
