Hi guys,
Is there a way to reduce memory and cpu usage? (for old machines)
I saw i can disable some CPU accelerations, but i am not sure.

Thanks.

You can disable some accelarations features, but it will only use even more CPU.

Thanks.
I saw that between 0.8.6 and 0.9.8a there is memory usage increasing.
I understand from the answer that i cannot change it?

HOw much more?

I've checked again and saw no significant difference between the two versions, BUT:
If i activate VLC 0.9.8.a every X activations the memory Consumption grow by far:
1. Regular memory Consumption: http://www.2shared.com/file/5705531/9ea71b4/Small.html.
2. High memory Consumption: http://www.2shared.com/file/5705530/7eed4122/Big.html.
The input is the same mpeg file: http://www.2shared.com/file/5705577/84e51185/lion.html.

Is there an explanation for this? maybe the two activations are closed (by time) to each other?

Thanks.

What are the messages differences?
