Starting player
+ comes up in the log.- Restrict Memory Usage | - OutOfMemoryError -
-The programs memory is managed by Java, which means Java allocates a - certain amount of memory which is then filled up with data of the program - and once Java decides so, it cleans up data that is not used anymore - (Garbage Collection). This leads to the actual memory usage going up and - down constantly, while the allocated memory mostly stays the same. So - even if only 50 MB are filled with data by the program at the time, Java may - still have 200 MB reserved to optimize Gargabe Collection. Thus, the memory usage in e.g. the Task Manager - may not reflect what the program actually requires, just how - much Java uses.
+This page gives some information about memory usage and performance and + how to affect memory usage.
+ -Use the /appinfo
command in Chatty to get some information
- about the current memory usage.
There are a few reasons Chatty may use a considerable greater amount of + memory compared to other IRC clients:
-A typical memory usage pattern, which can change over time as the program
- is running while Java optimizes Gargabe Collection:
-
You can restrict how much memory Java is allowed to use by specifying
- commandline parameters for Java. Create a shortcut
- and add the appropriate parameter after the javaw.exe
but
- before the -jar
parameter.
You can use the /appinfo
command in Chatty to get some
+ information about current memory usage. Note that these values can be
+ somewhat different from what is shown in e.g. Task Manager.
For example to restrict memory to 400 MB: javaw -Xmx400M -jar "D:\Chatty\Chatty.jar"
.
- You should test out yourself how low you can go, although more than 150 MB
- is usually recommended. Note that Java will show a higher usage than
- this in the Task Manager, since this pretty much only restricts how much
- the program can store, Java will need some more for it's own management
- and data.
For the Windows Standalone version you can add this value to the file
- Chatty.cfg
located in the app
subfolder of
- the Chatty folder (it should already be there by default, so you can
- simply adjust it if necessary).
When you start a Java program there is some default maximum amount of + memory it is allowed to use, which can vary on a case-by-case basis.
-If you get an OutOfMemoryError then Java ran out of memory. This can - either be because it simply can't allocate enough memory (at least 100 MB is recommended) - or there is a bug that prevents it from cleaning up memory that is not - actually used anymore. These kinds of bugs are pretty difficult to track - down though, especially if they only occur somewhat randomly.
+You can tell Java the maximum amount heap memory it can use by using the
+ launch option -Xmx400M
. In this example it allows a maximum
+ heap of 400MB, which is recommended for good performance. You should
+ normally never set it below 200MB or you may experience issues.
Create a shortcut (you may
+ already have created one with the installer). When editing the shortcut
+ change the target and add the launch option after Java but before the
+ -jar
part (you may have to add the javaw
and
+ -jar
parts). It should end up looking similiar to:
javaw -Xmx400M -jar "D:\Chatty\Chatty.jar"
The Chatty.exe of the Windows Standalone
+ version will look for launch options in the file Chatty.cfg
+ in the app
folder, so you can add the -Xmx400M
+ there, after [JVMOptions]
(should already be there by
+ default, so you can just change the number).
If Java cannot clean up enough memory to make space for new data to be + stored, an OutOfMemory exception will occur.
