Memory use
Posted: Wed Dec 06, 2006 11:18 PM

When I start my application the memory used by this proces often increases to > 200.000 KB. After this peak the memory used is approx 20.000 KB. Is there a way to limit the maximum memory used (at startup) ?

Best regards,

Klaas,

Harbour allocates memory for the virtual machine stack, and different subsystems. Why do you need to reduce that memory amount ?

These days those memory values are quite low.

Thanks Antonio for your answer.
One of my client works in a MS Terminal Server situation with a FiveWin + xHarbour + ADS program.
At the beginning of the day 100+ (approx 09:00 hours) users start the program.
Only than problems can occur because of the memory use.
I thought of eliminating the problem by reducing the amount of memory the program is using.

Best regards,

Hi Antonio,

The server becomes very, very slow.
Users think that the program does not start and start the program for the second time; this increases the problem.
