Yes. All you've done is increased the maximum, which seems reasonable. If memory balancing were turned off, it would mean setting aside all 8 GB any time the personal vm was running. > Before posting this I read this post > > https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/qubes-users/memory$20appvm/qubes-users/lxcMPl01hMM/uCe3PXhlJyEJ > > and, although the final conclusion seems to be "Don't touch default > settings, let automatic memory balancing take care of it", it is from > 2014, so I wonder if things could have changed since then? > > If it's still effective, then I wonder when it would be necessary to > change those settings? In my own experience, I have reduced the RAM and disabled memory balancing for vms like sys-net, sys-firewall, VPNs etc. I have also increased the fixed (non memory balanced) RAM in win7 standalone vms. > Thanks in advance > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
