Maybe you guys are aware of this but here is what I observed just in case it might help.
Running on a Vista Home Premium system with 2GB RAM I observed the following RAM usage in the Windows Task Manager.
Ninja running, not connected, no charts =32,000K
Ninja running connected to MB/EFX =40,000K
Opening a workspace with 8 charts and a Market Analyzer with 8 forex pairs =306,000K
Closing the 8 chart/market analyzer workspace leaving nothing open should drop RAM use back down to 40,000K but it actually creeps up to 308,000K used.
Opening the same workspace again with 8 charts and market analyzer and RAM use is 485,000K.
After about 5 minutes of doing nothing it drops to 400,000K, still almost 100,000K higher than the first time the workspace was opened.
After about 10 minutes of running Ninja in the background RAM use has dropped to around 399,650K
Bringing Ninja back to the foreground and RAM use pops back up to 400,000K area.
Closing the 8 chart and 8 pair market analyzer workspace and waiting...
I have only been running the empty default workspace for the past 5 minutes and Ninja is still using 400,000K
Disconnecting from MB/EFX has no effect.
Connecting to Gain raises memory use to 405,000K still with default empty workspace only.
Shut down Ninja and restart and I am back at 32,000K used.
There you are! Hopefully you are already dealing with this issue.
Apart from the above issue is there any chance that RAM usage will be lower in the final release version of 6.5? Right now running an 8 chart workspace with no Market Analyzer takes about 156,000K. I can easily imagine having 8 x 8 chart workspaces for a total of 64 charts. This would take about 1.3GB of RAM space and having tried it I know it chokes my 2GB Vista system.
If RAM use is going to stay in this range has Ninja been tested to run on a 64bit version of Windows or a 32 bit Windows Server version? My understanding is that these are the only flavors of Windows that can utilize 4GB of RAM and higher while XP Pro can only address around 3.3GB.
Thanks for all the hard work.
