I have been looking into why I am running out of memory.
I find that the phone book and calendar use alot of user memory in windows.
These are two programs I like to have loaded at all times.
Following is a small table I made using the MS sysmeter program (It is old
but I do think it tells the truth).
Program User Graphics
DTS Book 16% 5%
DTS Calendar 16% 5%
MS Word 11% 11%
Corel Draw 8% 6%
MS Publisher 6% 8%
MS Access 6% 6%
MS Excel 32% 18%
MS File Manager 6% 3%
MS Print Manager1% 3%
32% of user space that starts at 74% available is a lot of overhead for my
system.
I find that some times I can only load 1 program at a time.
Could you please look into this for the next release. I feel that a program
that
is designed to remain active during a Windows session should use as little
resources
as possible. Please don't get me wrong I am not complaining. I would like to
have
a more frendly program in the future. I am not changeing or running away. I
might
have to unload book and calendar from time to time to get work done though.
Thank you.
