anxious Memory Deallocation

[LAVA 1.0 Content]

I saw this in the WIKI article "LabVIEW configuration file", section "Performance". (http:/www.labviewwiki.org/LabVIEW_configuration_file/Performance)

QUOTE

Example: anxiousMemoryDeallocation=TRUE

Description: Force LabVIEW to deallocate memory aggressively

The description is a bit hazy for me.. I assume it "virtually adds a "request deallocation" primitive in subVIs".

- Anyone can give more details ?

- Anyone ever tunerd it on ?

Looking at this and this, I found:

QUOTE

On all platforms, you can optionally set the “Deallocate memory as soon as possible” preference. When this item is

on, subVIs immediately deallocate memory as they complete execution. This might help out with memory usage, but

it will slow down performance significantly.

I've tried to turn the "anxiousMemoryDeallocation" option on several times, but I would always get all sweaty and shaky...then I'd forget to save the changes, so no. :laugh:

"anxiousMemoryDeallocation=TRUE"

Who would want to make an operating parameter "anxious" anything? Next thing you know we'll get "nervous" then "paranoid" then "psycho". Then we'll get HAL.

"Deallocate memory please, Hal"

"Deallocate memory please, Hal"

"I can't do that, Dave"

Well there is a parameter "server.tcp.paranoid" and it's True by default

TRUE or FALSE

Thanks orko for the link, they do make things clearer for me, so I'll stick to what have been doing : use "request deallocation" primitive with care.

If the next version of LV adds http://wiki.lavag.org/LabVIEW_configuration_file/Easter_Eggs#SuperFunkyPrivateSpecialSecretForumStuff' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">NervousParanoidPsychoSpecialSecretForumStuff I would have to think twice before trying it...
