Do all visual aspects of a weather app need to be loaded at once? Is the cost penalty loading a hundred kilobytes per image from disk really unacceptable?

- doikor 2mo agoEven if the app is no longer using that memory it is not released until Windows thinks another app needs it.

- mrheosuper 2mo agoOur storage can transfer Gigabytes of data, do hundred thousand operations every second. The hardware is more than capable. If your software stutter when streaming few hundred KBs of data, it's on you.
- vel0city 2mo agoBandwidth and latency are two different things. The latency of handling things in system memory is still pretty different than the latency of handling stuff on SSDs.
- mrheosuper 2mo agoStill, it should not be more than few miliseconds, it's solid state. Im pretty sure most of the latency come from the software.
