I've faced this problem several times in OSX with projects loaded with R3D files at full res and camera projections with large JPG files. So I don't think it's exclusive to Windows.
In OSX when this happens, clearing the buffers and the disk cache will also take forever, so I usually end up force quitting Nuke most of the times. It's just quicker. Ok that the scene memory usage wasn't on the low side, but... iMac i7 32GB of RAM OSX 10.8.4 cheers, diogo On Thu, Sep 12, 2013 at 12:58 PM, Nathan Rusch <[email protected]>wrote: > I’ve gotten many complaints about this from artists as well, all > running on Linux.
