No, it won't eat half your RAM all the time, it will just allow any module to
use*up to*  half the available RAM. How much is actually used will depend on
the module, and on the image you are editing.

[darktable-user] What does this half of memory thing actually mean

2018-03-18 Thread Henkka 

This:

 * New darktable installations on computers with more than 8 Gb of
   memory will now by default use half of that per module

So have I understood this correctly: it eats half of the RAM I have?

I have way more than 8gb of RAM and I haven't noticed a slightest 
improve in anything and surely it doesn't eat half of my RAM in anyphase.


I'm a bit confused about this.

Could someone explain?
