ok thanks, i was pretty sure it is "normal behavior" i am only asking if there is away around that particular behavior, and your answer was what i figured might be the case.......

so i am a little clearer, it is normal for apps to use disk IO in the way we are describing, even if there is no real memory pressure, correct? (a form of it's virtualization?)

I am looking at "cacheing" right now to see if there could be anything better done in that area. in IB , i disabled everything for the webView.... (java, java script, ect...)

the program is not relaunching every 20 secs, it is reloading a webView every 20 secs. and then doing a bunch of work on that data, there is no real calls to anything API except of course the webView reload itself, which i assume is what is causing normal memory use, it definitely is causing a CPU use spike, and there is no user interface to update, except again, for the webView object instance, and it is hidden... there is only number crunching after the webview load... including using memory to store variables...

i never thought there was anything wrong, only maybe a way to keep the process from using disk swaps as it's source of memory.

Jon.

In other words: No, there isn't a way for your app to use "real memory". Or, to rephrase
