Zer0Nin3r Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) Are plugins actively taking up CPU & RAM resources when installed and not in use? Or only when they are invoked? Since, switching to Unraid, I've been uninstalling plugins after use and keeping my installed plugins to a minimum. I've scoured the Wiki and Forums with no such luck in finding the answer that I am looking for. Edited November 5, 2018 by Zer0Nin3r Edited for clarity Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Since the Unraid OS is in RAM, installed plugins are taking up RAM even when not invoked. Depending on the specific plugin, it may or may not have background processes that also take CPU. 1 Quote Link to comment

I will up vote you when I get more reactions — just wished we'd get more of them. P.S. - Wouldn't be great if we could toggle plugins on and off?
