Frank Jonen Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Is there a way to see how big a file is in memory to see why AP is becoming Beachballhalla? In the info panel I only see Memory pressure which I assume denotes read/write velocity and Memory efficiency which I have no idea what it means. Especially since it displays as over 3k% which is interesting given what per cent means. I haven't found a way yet to display the internal memory use. I can sort of guess it with iStat menus and TOP but that's the whole app, not just my file. I can't optimise the app but I can optimise the file for performance once I know what's causing what to bloat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andy Somerfield Posted December 7, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 7, 2016 Hi Frank, Memory Pressure is actually the one you are looking for - once it hits 100%, it means Photo is using the disk.. Memory Efficiency is simply a measure of how well Photo is managing to remove redundancy internally (ie. clone a pixel layer - efficiency will increase - until you start editing pieces of the cloned layer, etc. etc.) Hope this helps, Andy.

Gregory-CJ Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hi Andy, Just so that I completely understand, Memory pressure measures what percentage of Ram AP is using and once it hits 100% then AP writes to Disk... right? But I still don't get what memory efficiency is.... would you mind giving a more detailed description of what ME is and why does the percentage move into the thousands? Thanks Gregory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
