High memory load on XG106

Hi,

this is expected on a 4gb of RAM box.

Hello

While V18 is in EAP and even Beta versions, there will have been little performance optimizations done, and there would potentially be sets of debugging code still in the firmware to assist in tracking and tracing issues.

I would expect that once a second Beta version is released to the group, more emphasis will be placed on performance optimizations before actual release.

I am seeing about a 20% increase in both Ram and CPU usage in V18 over the V17.5.6 I was previously running, and that is on an XG125.

Once there is official release firmware, I would expect that there will still be an increase in Ram and CPU usage, purely due to the additional features and processing done in the V18 firmware.

My 6gb system has gone from 40-50% to 75% memory usage. CPU is up slightly.

And yes, I expect the memory and CPU to decrease after EAP is finished and the debugging code removed.

I hope this is the case.  Our Active / Passive Pair is pegging 90+ several times a day with a half dozen IT users.

I also hope that SOPHOS developers have taken into account the hardware limitations of rev. 2nd and 3rd and the GA version will slim down RAM and CPU usage a little. At the moment, with EAP1 Refresh 1, my XG 115 gets breathless.

Do you already know something about the release date of EAP2? Will this patch improve system performance?

Hmm, i guess they will talk about it in today's webcast. But it's more hope than knowing...
