The problems with high ram usage exist in win7/vista. I think this system have problems with allocating/releasing memory. Under Linux and Windows XP i dont have this issues.
Possible to mine my NTFS plots in linux with ntfs 3g ?
I thinck to switch to Linux
Strage.... i don't think i have memory problems with windows. I am using java 64 bit for the miner and wallet, and i am running all kinds of plot sizes, still, the miners use not much memory, 512K for the most hungry one.
I did have a pagefile that went berserk earlier today, after i started plotting a file, but i am not sure what was the cause.
There might be longterm memory leak problems, but as i understand java, java should manage memory leaks reasonably well, except if they are tied to resource leaks, in that case things can get a bit ugly.
Somebody fluent with java developent on windows might want to throw the miner through some leak detection system to see if there are any problems. Remember to have a selection of files, also broken ones, in case that might be part of the problem.
anyway - seems to work fine here, as soon as i went to 64 bit java, all my troubles dissapeared. - if i leave the pc unattended for a day or so, things seem a bit sluggish, so we might have some kind of resource leak somewhere.. perhaps.. but then, perhaps the sluggishness was due to something else running on the box.
Anyone having memory issues might want to look in task manager, and locate the exact program that is using more and more memory, and under what conditions.
