Hi all, currently we are using EG 7.15 (HF8) in production for all users. From time to time I check, if EG 8.x is suitable for production in our environment. Up to EG8.2 update 2, I was't happy with the performance compared to EG 7.15 - especially delay while opening tables or browsing through the server-list. Now with update #4, the overall performance is much better. But now, I noticed another performance-issue: Every-time i "open" a library in the server-list and let me show all tables inside (click on more) the applications memory-usage strongly increases - of course depending on the count of tables inside the library. For example: We have some large libraries (1000+ tables per library), the biggest counts about 7000 tables. If I open this very large library in the server-list and click "show all" the memory-usage rises up to 800MB (checked with windows task-manager). If I than open only 3-4 libraries (with 1000+) tables in the 32bit version of EG, the memory-usage rises above 1GB and i get an application-error - the EG-log show "outofmemory" Exceptions. If I using the 64bit version of EG i can easly push the memory-usage up to 4GB - just by browsing through! Of course the 64bit version doesn't crash, but this high memory-consumption isn't acceptable for me and I prefare to use the 32bit-version because it supports more import/export-dataformats. In EG 7.15 HF8 (32bit & 64bit) I never saw such a high memory-consumption. When I do exacly the same in EG 7.15 like in EG 8.2, the memory-usage stays below 200MB - sometimes the memory-usage even decreses in EG 7.15 while browsing through the server-list (better garbage collection?). If I using the "File -> Open -> Data"-dialog in EG 8.2 for browsing libraries instead of the server-list, the memory-usage stays low. Did anyone else notice this kind of high memory-usage in EG 8.2?
