Not so severely, but I've been having CEF processes left in the background after closing TB. TB can be started again, but the leftover processes cause other sorts of problems.

I found that disabling history tracking helps, see here: https://www.ritlabs.com/en/auth-forums/forum4/topic16735/message58695/#message58695

Clearing the CEF cache might help, too: https://www.ritlabs.com/en/auth-forums/forum4/topic16681/

There is also the option not to use CEF at all for viewing HTML messages, by adding /ForceNoCEF to the command line. However, all stuff implemented in JavaScript running under CEF will not work: Conversation View, Calendar, new Address Book Interface... But it can at least confirm that CEF is the problem.

Does The Bat always remain in memory after closing it?

If so, have you tried the setting:  "Preferences->General->Run CEF Browser in a single process"

I created a .bat file (I call it "Unload_TheBat_from_Memory.bat", and it contains a single line of code:

taskkill /IM thebat32.exe /f

You could also create a batchfile that launches The Bat, with that Taskkill command after the line that runs The Bat, so that it will always be killed automatically.

I haven't been able to stop it from happening, but I've made it less annoying.  I created a .bat file (I call it "Unload_TheBat_from_Memory.bat", and it contains a single line of code:

taskkill /IM thebat32.exe /f

Like I said, it doesn't solve the problem, but it certainly makes life easier.
