Post From: Physical Memory Over Use due to Sierra Charts

Nah there's something going on here with SC and memory usage these days.

I'm seeing 2-2.5GB *resident* memory usage by the SierraChart process itself these days and it was nowhere near that in the past. What changed here? Are we caching huge amounts of intraday data in an internal process cache somewhere now?

I seem to remember usage levels 1-2GB in the past and I'm not running an appreciably large number more chartbooks then I was previously. Just what is SC doing that it needs 2-3GB+ of RAM usage these days? No this is not OS cache related either, it's process memory.

In fact my current process is using 2.2GB private and 2.8GB commit size. At one point it was up to 2.5GB private.
