The default memory usage is 50% when the computer is in use in Computing preferences. I changed "When computer is in use, use at most" to 90 % and fully utilize 10 cores hyperthreaded, 20 tasks.

Using top, tasks seem to peak at about 3.1% of my 32GB or RAM so about 1GB/task. I am running a maximum of 8 tasks at once as my experience with many projects is going into virtual cores can actually slow down throughput. ID: 107 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
