WOOP Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 I read somethign about changing the heap size of an application to give it more access to memory and therefore make it run faster. How can I do this. Or did I just make it up
Raining_again Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 program priority? Not wise to mess with it unless you know what your doing, can have VERY messy results (ie your computer dying)
Bogbas Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 I don't know much about programming, but I think that every application reserves a certain amount of memory at startup. And the process priority changes only how the CPU will handle it. But I would only recommend to use it on boinc and such. Because the problems it causes usually aren't worth the small performance gain.

Konfucius Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 I mess around with heap size sometimes a bit, especially when making virus scans but the only performance gain that was significant is with Spybot. Norton on the other hand even crashes.
