Excessive PF Usage
May 29th, 2007, 10:52pm  
Hi,

I was going to post this in my other thread, but I think that it is significant enought to warrant a new topic -

When I run a program created in processing, whether it is a simple grey screen with no OPENGL or a complex program, the page file usage goes up by about 100mb.  This occurs whether the programs are compiled, or running from within processing.  Also, this doesn't seem to occur with regular pure-Java programs.  

Does anyone have an idea on what could be using up these massive amounts of space?  

Cheers,
Crispin

P.S. using WinXP

Can you show your code ?

It will be easier to solve your problem.

Hi,

Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with my code, I can create a 'blank' project and the same effect occurs.

need more details.. what version of java, have you tried others, have you tried with the version of p5 that includes java, have you shut off option in preferences that sets the memory higher, etc...

and is it actually using much RAM? is it actually thrashing the disk with that 100 mb? or does the number just scare you?
