Version 4 (v3.99) - Introducing faster load time and reduced memory use

Posted on 09:57 by Unknown
I'll be mentioning the many new features coming in version 4 over time. There are so many, I don't know where to start. I mentioned before my optimizations to the icon loading. I rewrote this code from scratch, doing it the 'hard way'. The result is:
  1. Memory use by the GUI is reduced by 40-60% (depending on the number of processes). Yes, it seems amazing, but its true. I accomplished this by optimizing my storage of process icons in memory.
  2. Loading of the GUI is considerably faster with less hard drive accesses. In the older version, a lot of hard drive accesses were done to get process icons. My process icon optimizations have improved this substantially.
At present no competitor has done this, and they probably won't. It is one of those things that takes time and energy, and most businesses would simply say 'its not worth the effort'. That is why my little business is different. I do things not with business in mind, but rather pride in my craft. I love what I do, and that's why I do it. I use my software every day.

I've all mentioned this before, but I thought I'd mention it again. As soon as I launch v3.99.10 beta, I encourage all adventurous users to migrate to it. I need YOUR help in tracking down bugs and other anomalies. With luck, we'll be going final by the end of this month!
