-
- Executor suggested an ApplZone of 3.42m probably because it only found
- about 7m of physically available memory (after chewing up about 1.5m
- for itself). By asking Executor to use 10m you're probably forcing
- Executor to page, which can result in a significant slowdown.
-
- You may be able to adjust your boot setup so that Executor has more of
- your 12m to work with, and even if you can't, you might do better by
- specifying -applzone 8m instead of 10m. The problem is that Photoshop
- wants lots of memory.
