You better ask this question at email@hidden ,
this is the place where the kernel hackers and low level guys reside.
They might be deeper into that kind of stuff.

Here a "Power Noise-maker Dual 866MHz, 256MB RAM" from Moscow,
Russia. We
call it a "helicopter". I love its noise, especially for sudden
variations
in its pitch and tone, as if it was a live specie...
it must be because I work in a small office, the noise is anoying for
me, I am thinking of wraping the machine with noise isolator material,
like the one used in recording studios.
Anyway, it is good to know that I am not the only one having problems.
The System Monitor I am using is a program that was sent to me by
www.jasendo.ca, I just discovered that I am a beta tester and that I
was supposed to send them my comments, oops!, I forgot I signed in for
that. I guess if any of you is interested in the program, you can write
to them.
After talking to the support guy in Jasendo Tech, I found out that the
Monitor is showing correct values for the memory use, so there must be
an applciation running in the background that is consuming resources
and it is not freeing them.
can anyone tell me how much memory I am suppose to install to gain some
speed?, as I said I am mainly using the machine for programming and
internet browsing.
thanks a lot
(By the way, the dealer said it is 867MHz! Should I prosecute them
for
cheating clients and claim 1/867 of the money back? :)
I have got the same problems with slowdown, too.
What System Monitor do you mean? Is there a way to access this info
programmatically? Is there a cure for it, say, with a tiny cute sudo
command
line tool to avoid restarts?
By the way, I discovered that the slowdown starts whenever I
- have 2 or 3 nib files open, especially if at least one of them is
large
(nothing but restarting the machine helps)
- have many open source-file windows in more than one project in PB
(reducing them to 1 to 3 per projects and open projects just by 2 at
once
helps after a restart)
Since I have sometimes to keep 4 (My project consists of 4 PB
projects...)
projects open at once it is something that impacts my productivity
much more
than lacking EOF or code completion. Closing and reopening projects
with a
restart in the middle is another attack on productivity. (It cannot
be
blamed for opening big projects too fast... Is there a way to
schedule
groups of RECENT projects to open at one command, to have a nice
coffee
break with reading some magazines like at the barber's?)
I was planning memory upgrade to 512M next week, now I see it will
NOT be
enough :( ...
Really, what is the "cruiser amount of RAM" to run PB with 4+
projects open
with several BIG nibs open in IB without that lethal slow down? What
size of
RAM is considered NORMAL for intensive use of PB/IB by the guys in
Cupertino
(well, that must be a terrible horrible secret... just give me a hint
if it
is more than 2G to keep me from buying that lot of RAM! It would be
almost
50 (49.951) times more than I had on my Macintosh Plus in 1987 at
all, both
disk and RAM)?

Subject: From 256M to 768M and still paging a lot
I just installed a System Monitor program and I discovered some
funny
things about the memory use in my computer. The monitor is showing
me
that when my machine starts, it is using only the 20% of the memory
(pretty normal), it starts with Mail and the system monitors(CPU,
Memory, Disk and Network). Then after some hours of work (some
compiling and browsing mainly) memory use=100%=paging=SLOWER
machine.
When I am about to shutdown the computer, I close all the programs
and
the monitor still shows 100% of memory in use and many pages in
disk. I
was wondering why this is happening, even when no program is open
still
the memory is full??, could it be a problem of the SystemMonitor I
am
using??(jasendo.ca) I just went from 256M to 768M in ram and it is
disappointing that it is still not enough.
how much memory are guys using in your machines?, is anyone having
speed problems for memory size?
I have a Power Noise-maker Dual 866Mhz, 768MB Ram.
thanks
