Girder grown fat... 2.3MB....10MB

[AlCapone]

Girder 3.2.9 uses 2.3MB (one process)
Girder 3.3.1 uses 10-11MB (two processes)
(not the same .gml files, but not very different...)

this is almost the same Girder , the new is registrated and has LUA support.

I am concerned about the memory usage because this adds on to the total memory consumption... and delays hibernate/resume...

A gutted windows XP in my car, as is, takes 86MB fully loaded with 2xsamurize, winamp with >22000 item playlist, girder, and simple visualization + drivers,

it would be nice to save another 8MB ...


Ron: Please - it seems to me like much of this memory usage comes from rather uncool and bloated protection (third party ?)

Prettyplease, consider giving an personal EXE to registred users
(it's not hard to automate a special compilation of personal exe, or at least make ONE registred-user version to be given away on request.)

André,

Thanks for your concern. I'm cannot give out specialized versions of Girder.

[AlCapone]

can you tell where the RAM goes ? - how much is necessary and how much is "protection" ? (did not analyze it yet-must have a reliable version)

I think that I could take a memory dump of the real program, and reduce the size that way...

(I know - that's how stuff are being cracked, but I intend to do it just to improve the product)

I'd too be interested in a reduced complete version of girder... girder will be the heart of a 2 embedded systems I make. Thus the usage of a registered version... maybe I shall simply downgrade?

[AlCapone]

ah - good to see I'm not alone :)
-could you mention what embedded system you are working on ?

Ron:
>>...cannot give out specialized versions of Girder.
could you then please look for another "protection" scheme,
(not that there is any that are actually worth your money)

[Haddood]

well you count a third, i tryed the new girder for the LUA com stuff, but the memory usage started to grow heavy on my system, so i went back to good old gorder 3.2.9
