Images of the Holy Land uses 300MB of RAM by itself

Todd Phillips

I notice that opening Images of the Holy Land took a lot of time and disk access, so I opened up the task manager.

Before IOTHL is opened:

 

Then after I open IOTHL, and the image on the page finishes loading:

 

And then after I close the resource:

 

Now it must be loading every picture in the resource into memory for this to be happening.  Isn't there a better way?

EDIT: It's especially odd since the resource on disk is only 14 MB.

Thanks Todd. I've reported this. I also noticed that it doesn't always release the memory after you close the resource, so reported that as well.

I get a similar response but it is only while it is displaying. If I place a different book over the top of it, moving the tab for IOHL to the back, then the usage promptly drops as well.

It didn't drop until I did something else like open the library.

The "media resources" (resources that have the "Overview" screen of all the graphics) haven't been optimised for memory usage. (Sorry, this is a known issue internally that didn't make it to the Known Issues list. It will probably be fixed in Beta 5. Until then, just don't open two of them at once... [;)])

Thanks, it takes me about 1 to 2 minute to load, so I have not played too much since it is so time consuming.
