I was a little to harsh when I said that. I know everything I got from the WWDC videos. But I need more practice. And more knowledge. For instance, I don’t know how to tell when memory is wasted by to manny heap allocations which fragments the heap. So I had to find an other way to check this possibility and rule it out (I suppressed allocations by building object servers in charge of dealing and recycling them so all allocations occur at launch. >> and the amount of memory reported by Instruments is far less than the one >> reported by Activity monitor > > There are several different memory usage figures that count different things. > (Virtual memory is complicated…) I don’t even know what exactly the column > names in Activity Monitor (“Memory”, “Private Memory”, etc.) correspond to > anymore. Generally I look mostly at “Private Memory” which I believe is RPRVT > — this is memory used only by this process and not shared with any others, > which mostly means heap space. (“Memory” includes things like framework code > and shared address space, which are used across multiple processes.) Well, Xcode and Activity monitor agree. Instruments only show like 100 MB when they report GBs. But I may fail to read it correctly. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
