Interesting. I don't think retain/release itself is helping with the memory, but reference counting very much seems like it would, and the retain / release speed makes that possible?
It's kind of crazy how well 8GB does. On a PC when you have all the pre-installed crapware +++ 8GB is really too low these days.
- disgruntledphd2 5y agoSortof. I personally dislike the way it won't kill ridiculous processes, and "merely" slows everything down massively. To be fair, I'm doing DS on this so end up dealing with really large in-memory datasets, so I hit this relatively often.
- tempnow987 5y agoThat use case is tough for this model for sure. You're not tempted to remote to some other box with more memory? It's not hard to buy / spin up a box.
- disgruntledphd2 5y agoOh yeah, that's what I tend to do since I discovered this problem. It's a pretty small company, so they'd prefer that I didn't keep large boxes running constantly though (which is fair). They're getting me the new MB Pro with 32gb of RAM, which will definitely help.
