Very slow paging in FM 10 in graphic-heavy files

[Dov Isaacs]

Adding memory beyond 4GB on Windows 32-bit is a total waste. It is not even recognized by the operating system!

Maybe the improvement came on the basis of adding faster RAM that was then used for the bottom 4GB or perhaps your CPU / motherboard combination accesses memory faster when more fully populated (YMMV)! But again, in terms of being used, a total waste!

Now if you are on Windows 64-bit, even though FrameMaker is a 32-bit application, performance may significantly improve with additional memory simply because FrameMaker is not competing for real memory as opposed to virtual memory; less paging equals much higher performance.

I'm surprised upgrading the RAM made any difference. I thought 32-bit Windows only recognizes 4 GB maximum (actually, I think it's something like 3.2 GB).

FM 11.0 / Win 7, 32-bit / Intel i3 cpu

Similar problem in book with 36 chapters.  Significant improvement in response time attained by upgrading RAM from 4GB to 8GB.  Though there is still room for improvement.
