The previous thread has morphed to this.
I'll try the 256MB setting at start-up, but I would think we'd want to use as much as we could.
Ulf, could you give we users some tips on setting up an efficient amount, and the reasoning behind it
Also, one thing I liked in the Atari ST days, were the boot-up programs that allowed us to easily pick from various configurations, so that we could optimize our system for certain apps, if necessary. Memory was sooo precious in those days.
Even though today's computers are worlds bigger and faster, I'm stunned at the amount of stuff that gets loaded and runs at start-up these days. By the time we begin actually using it, a great deal of resources are used up. I know we can manually do this, but that's too tedious, and who knows what all those cryptic files are, anyway?
One thing I never hear about, are equivalent boot-up programs for today's computers. I often wish I could have a set-up for Calamus that only loads the bare minimun of "other stuff" so that we can devote our whole system to Calamus.
Does anyone know of, or use, such a program with Calamus?
I must admit however, that even with the ton of other stuff that is running, Calamus really runs amazingly fast --- there are barely any delays, even with huge docs.
I can only imagine what it would be like with more resources. Or, is this simply not needed with today's OS?
