While working on some large files with lots of text (i.e. using lots of RAM), I’ve found that PSCS2 and PSCS do not flush or clear out the memory when the file is closed. As a result, the memory utilization keeps increasing as I open more files or perform operations on an image that use lots of RAM, like adding text, until the system starts using virtual memory and performance suffers.
My system information is as follows.
OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600
OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation
System Type X86-based PC
Processor x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 7 GenuineIntel ~2392 Mhz BIOS Version/Date Award Software International, Inc. 6.00 PG, 1/10/2002 SMBIOS Version 2.3
Windows Directory C:\WINDOWS
System Directory C:\WINDOWS\system32
Total Physical Memory 1,024.00 MB
Available Physical Memory 623.19 MB
Total Virtual Memory 2.00 GB
Available Virtual Memory 1.94 GB
Page File Space 2.37 GB
The video card is a Matrox 550 with the latest drivers.
I’ve contacted Adobe support about this and they sent me a 13 page Adobe Technical Support Document 318243 which basically addresses performance problems due to a lack of physical memory.Anyway, I did everything the document recommends and I still have the problem.
So, what I’m asking is for someone with a Windows XP based system to confirm that PSCS2 that actually reduces the memory requirement when a file is closed, or a memory intensive operation like modifying text is completed.
Open and close some files with PSCS or PSCS2 and with the the Windows Task Manager in the Performance Tab, see if the Available Physical Memory and the Commit Charge values reduce. Mine keep increasing as new files are opened and closed.
I think this is a problem that’s causing a lot of the performance issues reported here on the forum.
If this is the way PSCS and PSCS2 should work, then I’d like to know that too.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Best regards,
Charlie
