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...
(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)?
