I’ve been using Colloquy for my limited IRC needs on my PowerBook since the day it arrived. It seems to have a very large problem though, it leaks memory like a sieve! I suppose if I rebooted on a regular basis this wouldn’t be a problem, but I never turn off my PowerBook, I just close the lid and let the system go to sleep. As a result I haven’t powered it off in more than 10 days. The unfortunate result for Colloquy is that ends up using something like 300 Meg of memory after running for that long. So far I’m pretty happy with Colloquy’s features and look, my IRC needs are pretty light, but this memory problem is going to force me to something else. Any recommendations for a Colloquy replacement?

How about BitchX? Works great for my (admittedly limited) IRC needs. I haven’t noticed any memory problems after leaving it run for days at a time.
