[Bug 822690] Re: automatic detection/use of memory.

 

1. Completely agreed: we'll see more RAM-loaded machines in the
future and thus the image cache will use more of its appeal.

2. You convinced me not to change anything in Enblend/Enfuse's
image cache sizing by showing my the code of sort(1).  So much
code and ad hoc constants for so little.

Title:
  automatic detection/use of memory.

Status in Enblend:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  background:

  the default for the -m option is 1024Mb. This means that you'll need
  about 1Gb of swap if your machines has less than 1G of RAM. Fine. When
  you have 1G of RAM, you'll be fine. You'll waste some RAM if you have
  2G, but if you have 4, 8 or 16Gb, enblend will run in a tiny part of
  RAM and leave the rest unused.

  Wishlist:
  Enblend should, when RAM >> 1G, auto-adjust the -m parameter to say 0.75 * RAMSIZE. (limited to 2048 if sizeof (long) == 4)
