World edit is acting.. funky.

Heres the deal: i just got a new computer- a hp: amd 2600, 512 ram, 120 gig hard drive; and now world edit is doing weird stuff. Basicaly, it starts out running fine (mem usage is around 23%) but make a new map and it jumps to 100% mem usage (!)! Thus, it runs untollerably slow. Any help? It seems bizare to me that my old, crappy comp ran world edit without a hitch, and now my new, fast comp can't handle this program. I have no problems with any other programs, including war III, so, uh, huh?

If you can help me in any way, reply. Thanks.

WarEdit seems to really hate my page file; it gums up the vitual memory whenever possible, and I've gotten blue screens just from leaving WE open. I turned off virtual memory (I have a gig of RAM anyway) and that seems to have cleared up a lot of WE's woes.

Try that?

I'll give it a shot, thanks.

Does turning off the Virtual Memory make your computer run faster???

That depends on the amount of RAM you have, I'd bet. 512 Mb seems to be the expected amount that most aps crave; if you have less than that, I'm sure you'd experiene hellish slowdowns. RAM's cheap, though - 1024 Mb seems to be perfectly happy on my system without the page file.

I don't notice any performance increase or decrease, but I let WE run all night last night, and I came back this morning and it was still up - most of the time, I would have blue screened after leaving it unattended for that long.

i set my page file to 2048mbs and it works like a charm :))
if u have a large HDD, and u do, just assign 2 gbs to u'r page file, cuz "sizeing (changing size) of the page file up or down" slows u'r comp...cuz windows is just a program, he'll always change it downwards (because non is needed) and when it needs it, it will take him a long time to build it up (not really long, but...u get the drift)
so better manualy assign disk space to virtual memory aka page file rather then turning it off....
