I do not have a problem with prime95 / mprime taking any amount of memory, as
long as thrashing is adequately dealt with. I am currently trying to get
assignments as small as possible for memory reasons, with (from prime95 point
of view) enough memory present 95% of the day, the other 5% being at "random"
times. It does not harm if prime95 takes 100 MB but it would be nice if
prime95 / mprime sleeps some time if a higher priority job needs the memory.
For instance if prime memory gets swapped out its process could sleep for 5-10
seconds.
Kind Regards, Martijn
