I'm not 100% sure what you're asking but I suspect that your confusion stems from the fact that V8 and node.js allocate memory on demand. --max_old_space_size sets the upper limit. You can set it to 8 GB but if your application uses only 40 MB, then only 40 MB is used. -- -- v8-users mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "v8-users" group.
