anyone (especially IOhannes) explain this to me - when I attempt to
load a file of 2.8Mb in size into msgfile, Pd reports memory usage going
up to 9+ Gb? It seems rather a lot. The files are storage of grain
windows, each of which is 4096 points in size. With 74 of them it's 9Gb.<br></div><div dir="ltr">When
I use a patch to generate the windows I store them in the msgfile
object, and with over 130 of them there is only about 370Mb of reserved
memory.<br></div><div dir="ltr">Ed</div></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">PS I tried to send the offending text file before but it was too big for the 2000K limit of Pd messages - you can view / download it at http://sharktracks.co.uk/puredata/newGrainWindows.win<br></div></div><div><br></div><div class="ydp314e0fb1signature">_-_-_-_-_-_-_-^-_-_-_-_-_-_-_<br><br>For <b>Lone Shark </b>releases, <b>Pure Data </b>software and published <b>Research</b>, go to <a href="http://sharktracks.co.uk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://sharktracks.co.uk</a> </div></div></div></body></html>
