Degrant II" To: ntemacs-users@cs.washington.edu Subject: Windows 95 Memory... Gone! Date: Tue, 01 Oct 1996 09:02:27 -0400 I have been using NT Emacs for a while now, and have noticed that my machine has been running slowly when Emacs is alive. Someone just showed me how to use the System Monitor utility to look at available memory. Before I run Emacs, it looks something like this: 2.4M * * ... * * * 0 * When Emacs is running, it is like this 2.4M ... 0 * Does anybody know how to get Emacs, even "Idle" to let go of some memory for others? (Like the old addage goes: Even Makes A Cray Slow). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kenneth L.
