Re: st: AW: Reclaiming RAM. . .
Neil,
I will read the article since I am not fond of Vista's memory
allocation method and wish to learn more how to work with it. Indeed,
I am limited to run my analysis on weekly data since using daily data
requires a too big memory allocation to Stata under Vista's 32-bit
system. (I guess I will migrate sooner rather than later to a Linux
64-bit system, hoping for a smoother, more versatile, operating system.)
However, given the current issue at hand, I have now tested Martin's
tip to set the memory to 100M after the session has finished. It then
gives back the claimed RAM and I am again down to an approximately 32
percent RAM usage.
This is much appreciated since I now again have a snappy Stata without
having to restart it after each bout.

Quoting Neil Shephard <[email protected]>:
BTW - a simple example of how this would be useful is if I was using
The GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/) under Linux and then closed it down
when I'd finished, its still actually sitting in RAM, and if I start
it up again it will come back from RAM instead of having to be loaded
into memory again.
Apologies for the poor grammar in the previous message.
Neil
