Page File Explosion

[segamegadrive]

hey, hey.
When I open the lobby client my PF Usage goes from around 250mb up to 1.13gB obviously causing a major slowdown. I then try to log in which succeeds before disconnecting me almost instantly, after which time I try to reconnect, having no trouble whatsoever, and my PF Usage drops like a stone. What gives, hombres?

Edit: Page File Usage is not generally a problem on my machine, it just strikes me as strange that the problem goes away once i connect (albeit abortively for the first attempt)

So thats why it's so slow! One of my 512 Mb DDR rams broke so I had to remove it, leaving two 256 Mb still there. After launching TAS client all the available RAM gets eaten (0.4 GB) and 0.5 GB of the page file taken! I always blamed my processor for this. Thats why I didn't feel this before with 1 GB RAM!!! The size which loads must be the maps!

Yeah, I noticed that when the thing was still SVN only, after load there would be a while when everything is paged out so the whole system is slow for a few minutes.

I think it pages all the maps to extract the minimaps.
