Default Re: Bad lag after 110-120 turns?

Could be some form of memory leak...

After some alt-tabbing DOM2 reserves up to 300 megs virtual memory on my machine, while acutally using about 140 megs (max. usage is 170 megs say W2k).
(roundabout values .. will check & write the values down if someone cares..)

There was even one incident when Win told me there was too little virtual mem - and I have 384 installed and the same amount set up as fixed swap file... .

Wonder why DOM2 wants that much virtual memory ..

Excessive Swapping could be the cause for the slowdown, after all.

yours,
Stefan
