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?

PZ.


MorphOS 2.4 uses enhanced display as default, try to disable it in the MUI screen preferences you use for Ambient (uncheck the enhanced display tick). If you open system prefs you can also disable triple buffer and probably double buffer too.

Depending on the resolution you use it may be a good idea to switch to a 16bit display.

You'd better use Fab's webpage OWB Lite versions so you save some precious ram :-)

If you have a custom screen for OWB perhaps you could run it in the same Ambient screen to save some ram.
