They boast about Illustrator CS6 using more RAM then 3GB... 3 GB? Mine uses less than 1GB.
What can I do to improve this? Thanks
iPod touch, iOS 4.2
It will use more RAM when it needs to.
Thanks Kurt,
The thing is, it takes 2-4 hours to complete a script. One would think that by using more RAM, it will get the task done faster, right?
A script itself wouldn't use much RAM. If you were to open the Activity Monitor, set it to Active Processes and then run the script, you would likely see functions repeatedly using and releasing RAM as the script runs.
If that is what happens, then Illustrator (and the OS) are doing what they're supposed to; using more RAM as needed and releasing it when done. In which case, there's nothing else you can do to speep up the process as RAM is being allocated as needed.
OK,
Thanks.
Illustrator CS6 uses less then 1GB RAM out of 8GB.
