"Pre Event Image Count" Memory consumption too low?

Post by zmaximz »

Hello, has something changed in 1.36 with pre event memory consumption? In the past it was huge, but now by increasing this parameter up to 50 frames memory consumption is still about 6%, so is something optimized? Guess I will rise it to 300 frames
Looks like something was fixed... looks cool

We used to allocate that many full images in /dev/shm which is a ram disk. Now we just have packets on a queue, which will likely only store the encoded data. So it can be better yeah, but can also potentially take up a lot of ram.

ram optimization is cool, because I've killed my ssd previously after 1PB of writes of swap I believe:?
