Robert, once you _start_ paging to disk, Phar Lap automatically increases the size of the swap file. If you haven't started paging, and you have a reproducible situation in which RAM usage increases with subsequent renders, please send me a test case. Sorry again for being slow on the uptake but the paging to disk I understand as part of the setup ONCE all the RAM is used & the only way to avoid that problem is to buy more RAM (too costly right now..) For the project I'm on, the RAM usage increases substantially after each render to screen..say I adjust a light and want to see the effect so I render, but after checking RAM used, it might be 3 megs gone…The Project file started paging to disk after 6 renders to screen but when I went into keyframer and rendered to disk 30 frames with a camera pan to show movement the memory used stayed at 9 megs..(I had not reset the program so I assume if I had done so the memory used would have been even less.. .tga image with defaults = before first render: 14,936 available used 2572 (upon loading it) after one render to screen: 7916 used after 2nd render " " : 8926 " " 3rd " " " : 9796 " " 4th " " " : 9652 " " 5th " " " : 14,296 " " 6th " " " : 14896 and it was SWap file : 532 and Page faults : 728 So If you want to look at it .. 1) where do I send the file 2) do you want the PROJECT file to look at? 3) what conference do I send it into or should it be sent by E-mail? Thanks for any advice
