I often have problems with Windows Virtual Memory running out with the IDE open, I have Sysinternals Process Explorer, and it says the system memory commit is at 600MB - it was up to 880MB. Installed memory RAM is 768MB.
The two candidates for causing problems are BDS and Firefox, and I don't know which. I have been opening and closing a lot of tabs in Firefox today, both Firefox and BDS show a current working set of around 60MB, and a peak working set for each of over 200MB. I think Firefox tabs with Flash elements seem to be one cause (chews bandwidth and memory leaks too maybe). But today I was mainly just looking at graphics (NASA Cassini images, inspired by the recent cosmological thread). Compiling today was a program using TRvSystem (Rave code based reports). I have no plugins loaded into FF, and just the fast start one for BDS (BDS 2006 professional). For instance here are the largest processes currently running, in descending order. Process Description Working Set Peak Working Set firefox.exe Firefox 54,688 K 228,680 K bds.exe BorlandR Developer Studio for Windows 41,576 K 206,876 K dexplore.exe Microsoft Document Explorer 27,644 K 28,228 K OUTLOOK.EXE Microsoft Outlook 27,408 K 35,600 K explorer.exe Windows Explorer 26,620 K 31,656 K svchost.exe Generic Host Process for Win32 Services 22,572 K 34,080 K procexp.exe Sysinternals Process Explorer 12,688 K 12,928 K nod32krn.exe NOD32 Kernel Service 11,728 K 22,628 K GoogleDesktopIndex.exe 9,052 K 15,000 K Skype.exe Skype. 7,232 K 24,308 K editplus.exe EditPlus 5,088 K 5,096 K (from systinternals process explorer - free btw) Yet the current commit charge (memory use) is 600MB, close to my memory limit of 768MB. Any suggestions what to look for? John _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list [email protected] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi
