Spyder IDE creates too many python background processes

After updating from Spyder 2 to 3 when I start it I see that it creates several python background processes. This wasn't happening in Spyder 2. Is this normal? The problem is that it takes too much RAM an my laptop has only 2GB memory.

Yes, it is normal. In Spyder 3 those other processes are responsible for code completion features in the Editor.

The technical details are these: those process run three completion libraries (Jedi, Rope and and a fallback library developed by us). Spyder's Editor sends completion requests to them using a client/server architecture, and displays a completion list in case it gets a successful response of any of them.
