- KNOWN PROBLEMS
-
- SimCity has been further optimized and now runs in 2.5Mb of
- memory. OS/2 2.11 has a working set of approx. 10Mb. OS/2
- Warp has a working set of approx. 6Mb. Sound support adds
- another 2Mb to the working set. This comes out to be a total
- of 14.5Mb for OS/2 2.11 running SimCity, and 10.5Mb for Warp
- running SimCity. This translates directly to a large amount
- of swapper activity. In short, SimCity and OS/2 are thrashing.
-
- This is more of a problem for a game like SimCity because SimCity
- updates 75-80% of its memory resources (mostly bitmaps) constantly.
- This leads to OS/2 swapping out some bitmap memory resources so it
- can load in the operating system code that needs to operate on the
- bitmap memory resources that were just swapped out to disk! Thus
- performance suffers severely.
