Chris26 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Memory Pressure in side panel....logical. However, memory efficiency? Yes I read the help file, but the question mark hanging over my chrstmas head is: What is the Reference point? 100% is a standard mthematical indicator of Maximum....you see where I am bewildered? 1035% is meaningless without a baseline reference point. I could interpret this as meaning that my computer is a super computer Or, that it will become in-efficient once it reaches 100%.

Then looking for the dishwasher and finding it stored in the living room where you have to download a water supply from the app store, then you have to buy microsoft compliant soap, remove the carpet only to be told that it is glued to the floor.. Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed.

Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean 100% efficiency, goes to 50% efficiency is after all so much more entertaining, right? 12 minutes ago, BofG said: I love the help description: "how well Affinity Photo is dealing with redundancy in its internal representation of open documents" There's no details on what the internal representation is, or what in there can be considered redundant. Maybe the app is creating the redundant data in the first place If I was coding a score for how well my own app was doing I'm sure I'd make it start at a million percent and go up from there Remains a mystery to all I suppose.

firstdefence Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Maybe the 100% is per core, so if you have 8 cores you don't use 100% of the combined cores you use 100% of each core? Make more sense? Also if you have multiple threads it can take it past the amount of cores you actually have, thus showing more than say 800% with an 8 core CPU.

Old Bruce Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Just guessing here but I think it has to do with real RAM and the Swap file on your hard drive. In other words up to 100% means it is in Ram 110% means some of it is on the hard drive. Again, just guessing. Try with a tiny file and a gigantic file. Plus consider when the last time you saved the document to disk, does that make a difference: Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl123 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Was there some sort of New Year's Eve bug going around yesterday, which prevented the forum search function from working? firstdefence 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
