Well, I'm glad you are retesting assumptions…. after testing here I
discovered the same thing *is* happening to me, I had just not noticed it.
Sigh….
I did AVAIL's before and after copying a file to VD0:, and again after
deleting the files. The ram is not 'freed' right after, you're correct.
But, when you copy something else to VD0:, it doesn't go *lower* either,
unless it's required to. Seems like it acts like a balloon that only
expands, but never contracts?
I tried CleanRamDisk too, with -0- results.
Interesting, cause the README with VD0: says that it will free up ram,
'automatically, every so often.' 🙂 Maybe we aren't waiting long enough
for it to free ram?
I also rebooted into 1.3, and my VD0: was behaving the same way (ie. not
freeing memory) there too. Hmmmm…. I would have sworn that it *did* free
memory.
I'm going to ask Perry over in the ASDG forum about this. Doubt that he'll
be in a position to 'fix' anything, since it is currently pretty much
unsupported, I think. Still, maybe he can shed some light.
Sorry for doubting you in the first place. Maybe I just wanted to to work
SOOO bad that I didn't notice it? Rats.
