WOOP Posted July 8, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining_again Posted July 8, 2006 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbas Posted July 8, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konfucius Posted July 9, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
