So, as I read it, 32 MB is OK functionally, although 14 MB is the new
“normal” for shared memory as far as WSJT X is concerned.
The amount of shared memory required depends on how many instances of
WSJT-X you have running concurrently, Johns suggested size is sufficient
for five I believe.
One of the other things I also noticed, just /after/ going to Mojave,
was that the boot-up and log-in times are VERY slow, and opening apps
is much slower than before, as well.
This is nothing to do with WSJT-X nor with the amount of memory made
available as interprocess shared memory. Whether it be 32 Mbyte or 14
Mbyte, both are trivial with respect to a total of 4 Gbyte.
Although the late 2014 Mini does have 4 GB of ram, it is tempting to
imagine that this new system start-up problem may be due to the
enlarged 32MB shared memory.
If so, that may be at the root of both the super slowness in
activating apps, and the problem I’m seeing with WSJT X 2.0.
You can check by reducing the shared memory allocation, of course to
start WSJT-X you must have sufficient shared memory allocation available.
Some time ago, when I set up the Mini for 1.9 (maybe earlier), I did
set to 32 MB per John notes at the time. (It was necessary at that
time, and then all ran well.)
I’ll have to see if I can recall the steps to move the allocation down
to 14 MB.
The steps are detailed in the ReadMe.txt that you can find in the top
level directory of the WSJT-X installer DMG.
