How much memory will CN occupy?
Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2009 12:38 am
Hello everybody.
I'm testing CintaNotes for a few days now and so far I'm happily excited about it.
Today I downloaded an XML-File from kranor and made a scary discovery :
I have 48 notes in the CN-Database and the size of the notebook.dat is 250 kB.
When I imported kranors XML-file, which is 2.13 MB in size, the notebook.dat blew up to 2.36 MB. That's perfect.
Windows Taskmanager shows, that CN freshly started with my few notes grabbed 5.25 MB of RAM. That's quite a lot for an 383 kB Prog and 250 kB Data, but acceptable.
Now, after importing kranors XML-file the memory footprint was 12.4 MB . That's an increase of more than 7 MB - 3 x the size of the imported notes.
How much memory will CN occupy, once the database grew up to 20 MB? 65 MB? Well, if it's not more, I could live with that. But a program, which is permanently held in memory, should be a space-saver.
ClipOMatic is a clipboard utility I have always running for 10 years now. The exe is 64 kB and the memory footprint with 5 kB clipsets loaded is 148 kB .
Currently I'm still using CueCards 2000 (the Freeware is in german only) as a notes-manager. CueCards occupies 9 MB RAM when started up with a 4 MB database. All my databases are 12 MB in size. I hope to be able to move all my collected information to CintaNotes soon.
