Monday, February 28, 2000 Hi folks, I know everybody is waiting for the TB - version 2, but I'd like to ask this anyway. On my machine ( Celeron 433, 64 MB RAM, 10 GB HD, Trio S3 graphics with 4MB memory ) I'm having some 28 MB free physical memory on boot up. Starting TB 1.39 reduces this to 23 MB, creating new message ( this one I'm writing now ) takes it down to 21 MB, another new message to 18 MB free memory. I start my browser dubble-clicking on URLs in the messages etc, the memory is down to 12 MB. OK, now, just to test it, I click on the "New Message" button three more times, for each one the memory is reduced by aprox. 3 MB. The strange part is that the memory isn't "delivered" back even though I close all these new windows now I'm still at 8 MB, and I have only this message and the main TB window opened. I'll save this message and terminate The Bat to see if the same thing happens as before - the free memory popped up immediatelly to 28 MB ... I'm back, it happened again. So my main question is if this is regular behavior of TB, that it eats up a lot of physical memory or is it only on my machine - because of some settings I might have but don't know of..., The program I'm using to manage my RAM ( when the level falls bellow user defined, let's say 6 MB, it frees up 10MB ) and which gave me all this memory information is called Ram Page ( www.jfitz.com ), the smallest in print of all similar programs I've tested. I'm usualy running many programs at the same time and I find it very usefull. My vcache is optimized by the Cacheman 3.80, the swap file is permanent, regularly defragmented and on a separate partition. I know, I know, I should be buying more memory but guys, I'm a musician, if I have some extra money, I'm running for a new guitar.... :o) -- Kind regards, Homesick Mac http://www.homesickmac.com -- Kind regards, Homesick Mac http://www.homesickmac.com Homesick Mac My system: Celeron 433 , 64 MB RAM, S Trio graphics, 10 GB HD Windows 98 second edition or Litestep In the background I've got: PC-Cillin 6.07, Ram Page, no more Zip Magic -- -------------------------------------------------------------- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -------------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
