Assign Cache Size using % of free RAM

Post by nvn »

Simple to implement feature yet critical is certain user cases.

Business Case: This feature will help sell this software in corporate IT environment.

Deployment of this software on different hardware with the same configuration is close to impossible since each configuration might have different amount of RAM.

Example: Personally I use my system (testing Win8) installed on a portable device (external HD). Often it is successfully used on systems with very different configurations. Only issue is choosing a Cache Size what will be stable in most cases.

Edit: At very least have some API accessible from Autoit or VBS to enable this functionality.

Thanks,
NVN

Only real issue is that you have to keep track of the data A LOT more if the data container keeps changing around....You will also waste the space if the amount in % becomes low. That's one of the reason I say we should just pool the ram for the CL 1 cache and then asign the cache that way. (post below yours) viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1178
