Insufficient Memory May Be Limiting Performance
Dear Forum 7 Experts,
I have an Excel application that uses 3 GB of memory when it is idle. When is is running the app will use up to 10 GB of memory. My memory configurations are as follows:
Physical Memory
Installed32 GBExcel App10 GBOther Processes3GBCached2 GBFree Memory17 GB
Kernel Memory
Paged377 MBNon Paged123 MB
The Excel application seems to run okay for the first hour. But, since the app uses more memory, as time progresses, it eventually slows down to a snails pace. The program is written impeccably to conserve memory but its associated and growing tables of data would seem to be too much for the system to handle.
Since my workstation can handle up to, I think, about 600 GB of memory, I am wondering if i need to purchase more memory or whether there is something else i can try to relieve the performance bottleneck.
Any help would be appreciated.
