PS CS4 consumes a lot more RAM than CS3

I recently updated from Photoshop CS3 to Photoshop CS4 and now I have the problem that CS4 is consuming very much RAM.
When I open the same image on both versions CS4 consumes like four times as much RAM as CS3 does.
Settings are identical on both versions, so I don't quite know how this can be.

As an example: In idle, without any file loaded, CS3 uses around 90MB while CS4 uses 380MB.
I don't run CS4 on Windows (just CS3) so I can't say whether is this normal behavior. That sadly may be simple application bloat. I was also shocked to see Vista using 1 GB of RAM when idle and without running apps.
Make sure your RAM allocation and history state settings are consistent between the versions.

  • JVM takes more RAM than defined in -Xmx param on solaris

    Hi all,
    We have a problem on production installation of our product on Solaris paltfroms: jvm takes more (much more) RAM than defined in -Xmx param and without any OutOfMemory exceptions. (how itt possible at all ?)
    The only JNI call in application is SAP interface connector, but application uses a lot of Runtime.exec() calls.
    Is it possible to have such kind of "leaks" in java using JNI or Runtime.exec()?
    I will be very appreciate for any tip how to find the root of this problem and how we can fix it ?

  • More ram than specs call for

    Specs for my emac specify support for 1GB of ram. In searching for additional ram (I presently have 512MB) I have found some suppliers that claim you can install 2GB (1GB in each of the two slots). I called and they said they have tested this and it works fine. I consider the company I called to be reputable. Has anyone heard of this? What would be the downside of trying it out - other than the extra cost? Is there some kind of power limitations or something that might harm my computer?
    Thanks for any insight,
    Doug

    Ya if you do a search of this group, you will find this has come up a LOT of times and yes your Mac can use more RAM than 1GB if you want.
    JIMacG5 I think is being a bit paranoid since, A) your eMac is probably long out of warranty anyway and B) Apple only tests up to whatever RAM was available at the time the model was in production. They do not test RAM for old models so many old models have outdates RAM specs and can use a lot more than they "officially" state they do.

  • KDE 4.4 eating up more RAM than 4.3

    Given the same settings on both versions and after numerous testing, upon bootup, KDE 4.4 is eating up more RAM than KDE 4.3, at least 25 MB more on the average. I realize the developers mentioned they fixed numerous bugs from the previous version, but shouldn't they be working on getting it lighter? Where's the most likely culprit for this additional RAM usage? Can it be attributed to the newer QT version 4.6.1, or something else? Opinions much appreciated, thanks.

    As for preload, i installed that some time ago and after 1-2 months i found out that it don't give me a visible speedup on cold start of my apps. In fact, the only thing it was doing was making my linux boot very slow.
    Well, it really is that simple. If I have spare RAM, I want something on my computer to start using it.
    Preload greatly increases speed on my end on some apps. Mostly big apps, like Openoffice and Kontact, which starts instantly with preload, and takes forever to run if I disable it. It doesn't increase boot time at all for me (I just start it in background, the rest of the loading happens after login and is not noticable on my system). Guess our milage are different.

    Instead of worrying about how to free up your used RAM, start worrying about how to use the RAM that is not being used (increase browser-cache, install preload, give Nepomuk more memory, etc).
    Certainly free RAM is a wasted resource, but the point of the discussion is whether the increase in RAM usage on KDE 4.4 is a good use of RAM. It is quite possible that the increase in RAM usage is due to bugs introduced in the new code and tracing the exact cause is helpful when one wants to submit a bug report to the KDE team.  The RAM saved this way could be used for more useful things in the next release of KDE.
    True. I was making a general statement, not being specific to KDE. Memory leaks are obviously not RAM being put to good use.
    In KDE 4.3 I found nepomuk all but useless. It slowed down my desktop and had a bad habbit of crashing Dolphin. Now it seems to run pretty well and I barely notice it, but it does take up a lot of my RAM compared to memory-usage in 4.3. But then, I feel like I'm getting something for my money. And I still got lots of RAM to spare, and no ideas on what to use it on.

    The firmware at the inbuild CD/DVD DS-6E2SH is the latest version.
    What can I do??

    hi b noir,
    I don't no about virtuel drives like you mententioned. In the mean time I have rebooted the XPS and run again the iTunes diagnostics. I think the back - chance in the registry was not ready to use.  Now there are another results. They are the same in case of a running CD or a not running CD. The difference in total is like before. It takes more time that iTunes reads the (bad) CD and at the there is no good sound. In both cases ( running or not running CD) iTunes diagnostics gives as a result :

  • "Last Month" in RECENT shows a lot more photos than just last month's photo

    For some reason when I select "Last Month" in RECENT (on the left) I get a lot more photos than just last month, it seems like just about all the photos from the current year!
    Any one else running into this problem?
    By the way, my library was originally created using iPhoto '07 and I upgraded when iLife '08 came out.

    Indeed that is the case but it sounds to me like a bug and not a feature.
    I agree - but since this is just a user forum that is all I can do
    report to Apple -- iphoto menu ==> Provide iPhoto feedback - they can change it

  • WhatsApp on E72 consuming a lot of RAM

    I have observed that WhatsApp consumes a lot of RAM on my E72. So much so that I can't even use Maps or browse heavy pages. To free up the RAM, I need to switch it off but even though I exit the program, it still is running in back ground and consuming the RAM.
    Is there any way that I can close this program ? Currently I am using NetQin to close it but its a very lengthy process.
    Also if any of you are using an equally good program kindly inform so that I can switch over.
    Using Nokia Lumia 1320.
    Also have Nokia E72 & Nokia N8.

    anyone with appropriate response?!!

  • Why Firefox 5.0 Still Consumes A Lot Of RAM?

    Contrary to many statements that Firefox 5.0 is RAM optimized and uses less, i still have Firefox eating '''[http://i.stack.imgur.com/i1AgT.png almost ~800MB of RAM and mapping more]'''.
    I used command:
    ''about:memory''
    And was presented with a modules/extension tree and i don't understand what each means. Does anybody here have experience or knowledge about this here who could tell me where may be the problem?

    Have you any particular reason for using an older version of Firefox.
    Whilst I rarely use firefox 3.6 now, and do not know the answer I will comment that the now unsupported firefox 4 did have bad memory problems in some cases. Some of those problems were addressed in firefox 5, and others are addressed in Firefox 7, which is due out on the Aurora channel next week.
    You could consider upgrading to a newer version of firefox. If you need firefox3.6 only for limited use you could consider using Firefox portable, alongside a newer version of Firefox.

  • MBP Memory Upgrade Using More RAM than Before

    Hey,
    I have a 13-inch, late 2011 Macbook Pro with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor. I recently changed my 4GB memory (2 modules) PC3-10600 DDR3 1333 MHz to a Crucial 16GB PC3-10600 DDR3 1333 MHz.
    Before the upgrade, the activity monitor would show memory used at around 3.98GB or so, and I was running only chrome with a few tabs open. Using chrome and a few more apps would slow down the computer significantly, though still usable.
    After the upgrade, the activity monitor shows memory used at around 6.5GB with the same apps running (just chrome). My computer does run a faster and can handle a lot more apps.
    My question is, why is my Macbook using more RAM after the upgrade?
    Thanks,
    Sebs

    The short answer is that memory unused is memory wasted.
    Mavericks is designed to decrease reliance upon mass storage, which is orders of magnitude slower than RAM. Mavericks will use all the memory available to it before resorting to using the swapfile. You are likely to find "swap used" to be zero, even with Google Chrome's notoriously profligate use of system resources.

  • All things being equal, does 4th gen quad core i7 (2.5GHz) need more RAM than 5th gen dual core i5 (2.7GHz) for same tasks?

    Bought mid/late 2014 15" MBPr with the i7 2.5GHz and 16GB RAM. I'm within 2 week exchange period at Best Buy, and thinking of switching to 2015 13" MBPr with i5 2.7GHz and 8GB RAM for battery life and weight, and they don't offer the upgraded 16GB RAM option for any 13" models.
    Needs to be Best Buy because of gift cards
    Use docked at office 75% of time vs 25% out of office, so portability and battery life are nice to have but not as important as if I had 8 hour flights on weekly basis
    See appeal of having 5th gen i5 in 13" vs my 4th gen i7 that will be updated this summer
    Not a gamer and don't use Final Cut or other video editing, but I tend to leave several applications open and usually have between 1-3 GB free RAM of the 16GB total at any time according to my Memory Cleaner readings
    Therefore, worried that 8GB is a non-starter as simple math says that I would have shortfall of 5-7GB RAM based on above readings, but wondering if dual core i5 will use RAM more efficiently than quad core i7
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    Also to note, would like this to last 4 years, which was reason that I bought the higher spec'd model even though I don't run games or video editing

  • Photoshop CS5 consumes a lot of RAM

    Hi,
    While using Adobe Photoshop CS5, I am suffering of RAM loss, it consumes around 2.5 GB of my RAM, while Adobe Illustrator CS5 consumes around 500 MB of RAM.
    Is this normal or I have to do something to minimize memory usage with Photoshop?

    By default, Photoshop uses 70% of available RAM. The more RAM available to Photoshop, the faster Photoshop can process image information.
    You can adjust here:
    Choose Photoshop > Preferences > Performance...adjust in 5% increments...restart Photoshop after each change.
    You really should Max out your computer, if you want the best performance, before messing with Photoshop.

  • Can I add more ram than suggested

    I need to get some more ram for my imac that apple say I can expand to 16gb. I currently have the standed 4gb.
    In the following article from pcworld i noticed the following (especially the bold)
    All iMacs come standard with 4GB of memory, installed as a pair of 2GB modules. When you order an iMac through the Apple Online Store, you have the option to upgrade the memory to 8GB (a pair of 4GB modules) on all iMac models for $200, or to 16GB (four 4GB modules) on the 27-inch models for $600. The iMac has four memory slots located at the bottom of the iMac that are user-accessible. Since two slots are empty when you buy an standard-configuration iMac, you can easily add more memory. The 21.5 inch iMac has support for up to 16GB of memory; third party companies are offering 32GB memory upgrades for the new 27-inch iMac.
    Does this mean that I can technically go up to 32gb?  Is there a down side to adding more the an 16gb suggested.

    Although you can install up to 16 GBs of RAM in both 21 and 27" models, I can not confirm that you can install 32 GBs in the 27" model. You might check OWC to see what they say.

  • WmiPrvSE.exe Consuming A Lot of RAM on 2012R2 DCs with SCOM Agent

    Good afternoon,
    I have three Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain controllers (AD DS, DNS, and DFS roles) and I'm running SCOM 2012 R2 Update Rollup 1 with all the latest management packs for Server 2012 R2, Active Directory, DNS, and DFS.
    When I install SCOM agents on these DCs, a WmiPrvSE process starts consuming a lot of memory until it reaches around 512MB.  At that point no one can RDP to the DCs, but we can enter-possession to get-process | sort ws and kill the offending WmiPrvSE.exe
    process.  When I uninstall the SCOM agent the server returns to normal.
    Other Windows Server 2012 R2 servers in our environment don't have this problem.  And when we had Windows Server 2012 (no R2) domain controllers this wasn't an issue.  My assumption is one of the management packs are an issue.
    I've seen other posts, but they are either related to older versions of Windows Server or not domain controllers.
