System Windows XP/Home Edition with 2 ghz processor and 1.5 gb of memory. I process 200 mbyte files. Here’s a history of memory usage for one process. The numbers will be total memory in use in megabytes.
Start 211; load CS 447; load image 674; add layer 675; add gradient to right side of image 1060; add gradient ot bottom 1310; add gradient to left side 1310 (disc cache was used since it took more than 4 minutes to do this task);close image 1290. At this point CS was the only task I had open and CS had no images in it. I minimized CS 1290. At this time I opened Picture Window Pro 3.5 (PWP) 1330; open image in PWP 1470;opened second image 1650; opened third image 1860. Note that PWP is forced to use the disc even for the first image. Close all images in PWP 1310; close PWP 1290. Note that CS is still holding on to 1290 megabytes of RAM and that PWP did not have access to any of it. Close CS 211.
Perhaps there is a switch I have overlooked and I can change how CS manages in use memory. I have limited CS to 80% of the 1410 mbytes available but this is not the problem. The problem as described above is that once CS grabs on to some memory it will not release it to the system when it is no longer needed thus it no longer available to other tasks until CS is closed.
