Hazelworker process in Activity Monitor using over 4 GB real memory. What's going on?

Did you check the logs for errors? Are your rules processing huge folders? Do you have subfolder rules that dive down huge folder trees? How many folders are you monitoring with Hazel?
Else, stop Hazel and start it again. If you still have a large memory footprint, then log out and back in. If the problem persists and you do not have any surprising answers to the above questions, send your logs to support.

I believe this was solved in email. One of the rules had a loop.

I'm also having this problem. Yesterday I noticed that hazelworker had got up to 11GB of RAM, and after restarting it, 24 hours later it's back to 6.6GB (and a steady 50% of CPU).
My Hazel.log file is 371.5mb (!), and Hazel.prev.log file is 599.3mb, which seem a little large to send in (and a little large overall, really - should they be that large?).

Have you noticed if Hazel is looping in the logs, as was the other user's problem?

Select the process and do "Sample process" and email that in. Also, get the PID in Activity Monitor while you are there. Then, when viewing the logs, enter "[XXXX]" where XXXX is the PID and that will whittle down the logs to that process. Send that over as well.
