Back in the day when I used to play around with 3D modeling software (mid-'90s), I'd leave my A500 on for days at a time.  At 7.14MHz it would take about 21 hours to render a single frame!  :lol:

I wonder if TLSF mem or PoolMem can greatly increase the amount of uptime here? I've always used PoolMem and continue to do so, despite even Thomas Richter himself saying that we should all use TLSF mem (apologies if you never said any such thing Thomas).

Another firm believer in TLSFmem (the latest version 1.9), here.  It greatly helps reduce memory fragmentation when opening & closing lots of programs over long periods of time.  Frankly I don't know why every Amiga user doesn't run it, but eh, to each their own.  ;)
