I've had the memory leak problem since I started this thread over a year ago. Although I have seen improvements with recent updates I still experience program “freezing” and “stuttering” when auto syncing is enabled. For me the only thing that seems to help is turning off the auto-sync feature.
I do all of my work in FTM and sync to Ancestry. When I’m done with my session I do the following:
1) Backup my tree
2) Compact the database
3) Manually sync my FTM tree to Ancestry.
Working this way significantly reduces FTM freezing and stuttering. The only major issue I experience now is the occasional failure of the manual sync causing an irreversible break in the link with my online tree and corruption of my online database. When that happens I have to delete my online tree, upload a fresh copy and re-invite all the people I have shared my tree with. I have tried restoring a FTM backup but I can never reestablish the link with my online tree. Major PITA.
