Recommended SetMemoryMax

[ADLANCAS]

Hi,

Is there a recommended value to set this variable on 512MB or higher machines?

Thanks,

Default Memory_Max is 0.25 of physical memory with a minimum of 16Mb.

SetMemoryMax() Can set any value between 16Mb and (Physical Memory)-5Mb.

You should not set it higher than a little less than (Physical Memory)-(What everything else needs) otherwise paging will occur.

There is not much point setting it higher than a scripts peak temporal cache requirement. AVS will gobble memory to the set limit regardless of what it actually need. Purely linear scripts don't need very much.
