Informal (happy!) comments on WGS 11/14 64-bit Windows build

Post by RDaneel »

I just wanted to say, after using this build for several days now, that it looks much better at memory management...

To be clear, I am focusing really just on a single metric: the ability to "zoom up" on the Working Set size when opening pages heavy with scripting / graphics / whatever drives sizes up (which has always been there ;) ) - but now followed fairly reliably by coming back down when you close the "offending" pages.

No, you don't get everything back, but once the browser (in my case) has "stabilized" on an in-use new "base" working set size, it basically keeps returning to this level.

Not trying to start any arguments, just wanted say that some recent patch or patches has really noticeably helped on this - judging from some of the arguments we do see - important metric.

Thanks frg and Ian.
