[DUG] [OFF-TOPIC] memory issues

[Ross Levis]

I'm looking forward to larger cheaper solid state drives which last up to
100 years, replacing hard drives which fail every few years.  10+ times
faster than a hard drive.  I've heard a PC with one of these drives can boot
Windows XP in 4 seconds.

Prices will get below US$2 per GB this year.  It's still out of my price
range, but I'm considering upgrading my laptop's hard drive to a 240GB
SanDisk drive later this year.

I'm not really sure if 300mb classifies Delphi as a memory hog if you
look at getting one of the below computers with 192GB of ram, I foresee
a surge in lazy programmers :)

Currently I'm on 254MB.

Close Delphi - 0MB
Open Delphi - 11MB
Open Project - 71MB
Compile - 154MB (peaking at around 170MB)
Open a Project with modeling support - 215MB

And the numbers just keep going up from there the more you do.

I think it's fair to say that it is a bit of a memory hog.  Although I 
have 6 chrome processes running currently eating up a total of 155MB.

I guess we could turn this into a discussion of who is running the most 
memory hungry App and/or instance of Delphi currently?
(Currently Jeremy leads at 307MB)
