Charles Hixson:
Is it possible to detect when a program is using, say, 90% of the memory that is available, so that I can take steps to reduce usage?
With computers that have virtual memory this is not so easy to do. I think you have to use operating system-specific code to ask the OS about the physical available memory, about the virtual memory used, the rate of virtual memory swapping, and use those three values in some way.
