My comments are based that I think its right to realise there be faster pcs than mine and also the software will be subject to variance sso for those reasons we shiouldnt aim to have the fast setting to run as fast as possible on my rig, I think needs to be headroom?
With the
SLOW PC setting, there are no restrictions/pauses & the programs run as fast as the PC can handle.
The
FAST PC setting slows the programs down the most.
I agree there should be sufficient headroom & that's what I'm trying to determine (i.e. just how much/little is actually needed).
The versions that work just fine at your end were worst case scenario.
The aim was to try different variations until we found the absolute limit of reliability & then add back in an appropriate 'safety' margin before I release an update (v 2.11) rather than simply slow everything down unnecessarily for everyone.
You & Kitz appear to have the fastest PCs of anyone using my programs that subscribes to these forums.
Your joint feedback is essential as I can't actually get the programs to fail on my slower system.
Kitz has already conducted a
lot of testing for me, firing the resulting logs over accordingly for which I extend my gratitude.
We now have a clear idea of what works 'best' on her system, but she is using a different CPU than you (not overclocked) & other factors may also come into play.
Also I havent been well lately, got some health issues flaring up, so in a lot of discomfort currently, hence lack of further testing.
I'm sorry to hear that & I understand that testing programs & sending logs might be the lowest priority for you at the moment.
My pc is clocked to 4.3ghz turbo, and 1600fsb ram. These chips can be clocked to over 4.8 by some people and with higher spec ram as well. Plus we factor in the graphs can be made on ssd and I have on a hdd.
Something else to report but as I said I cant do muich in terms of testing currently, the gui was left running for some days but earlier today it crashed out.
I'm sure Ronski will look into that aspect for you & when you are feeling a bit better he might also wish to see the same logs as I do as they may give him an indication as to the cause.
I'm aiming to post updated programs this evening, so again, (when you are feeling better) it would be most helpful if you could give them a go & post/email the relevant logs for me.
