EAP 2 - Ram Utilisation

Hi,

I wasn't knocking the CPU for normal use, just if you want debug you will need a faster CPU to update the GUI.

Hi, I am posting my comparison of SFOS v. 17.5.9 and SFOS v.18 EAP3 on hardware SG115w (swapped memory to 8GB RAM)

On v. 17 the CPU seems to work a little more stable.

Yesterday on v.18 (mix DPI and proxy, because not everything works on DPI), my son downloaded the game via Steam and almost boiled the processor. At 6 MB/s the CPU was warming up to 100%.

Today I installed V17.5.9 with a similar configuration to check how it looks on this version.

Edit after download test from Steam:

- v17.5.9 - 8,4 MB/s and max. 80% CPU

- v18 EAP3 - 6 MB/s and 100% CPU

I love your expression "almost boiled the processor". My D525 box was running UTM9.7 for a few years, PASSIVE, no problems, summer or winter. Last week, I installed XG 18EAP3. Funny thing is, after 3 hours, with winter ambient room temperature 14C, I had a thermal alarm and had to shut down. I installed a mini-fan. So yes, "boiled" the processor indeed! In winter.

On previous posts there was a clean installations. Now I have upgraded v. 17.5.9 to v.18.0 EAP3 via *.*sig upgrade file.

It looks better than clean installation of SFOS v. 18.0 EAP3. V.18 needs to work for better perfomance.
