31 - Memory
« on: April 02, 2010, 02:07:10 am »

I'm running Windows XP
3.0Ghz Quad core CPU
4BGB ram

Dwarf Fortress is taking up a LOT of my memory. Easily hitting 600,000k during the game and page files jump to about 2gb. On my cpu though it only sucks up 30%.

Graphics are on and my res is 1280x1024 80:64 grid.
Embark is set to 7x7

I was expecting some time for the World Generating but it seemed to stall during the aging part. Every few years it'd stop for a second then continue on as if nothing happened. It also does this in game. Bit annoying to freeze for a second or two about every 5ish seconds.

Edit: Could the increased amount of layers be the cause?

How big is your embark?

If I wanted ramps I would've designated ramps, dammit!
