MorphOS 2.4 + Efika = RAM Gone?!?!

[Fingers]

Ok, so I've just gone from 2.3 to 2.4 & have a BIG problem.

Under 2.3 I had about 50% more RAM showing as available at idle.

This is causing big issues for me, due to lack of available RAM.

What is causing the "memory chewing"? Can I turn something off, or should I just go back to 2.3?

Just re-installed 2.3 & OWB 1.3 Lite.

Hello speed...much better!!!!

Thanks guys, I'll have a bit more of a play around with it tonight.

Wish my Mac Mini wasn't used so much at home...I'd just put MorphOS on it!

I always download the .iso first & run it from a flash drive or other partition...good move, saves a heap of time

Just put 2.4 on my Mac Mini...fark yeah!!!! It's fast & clean, I'm loving it!!!!

could using the G4 MacMini version of the MorphOS2.4 iso instead of the file download option during the Efika installation process make a difference?

It appears to be the exact same image, so no go there...

Well, I got a bit bored this afternoon & dug out the Efika for a bit of a play around.

Note that when I reverted back to 2.3 I completely wiped 2.4 .

Today I upgraded it from 2.3 to 2.4 just like last time, except this time it's working fine.

It would seem that there was something wrong with the way the last (troublesome) 2.4 install was working.

Anyway, it seems that everything is back to normal & 2.4 works great, so all that was needed was a reinstall.

I wonder what actually went wrong though...why would it have ate RAM like mad before, but after rinstallation it works fine? Quite odd really!
