    @Linux bro I have 16GB and an SSD, was switching some of my app views to use constraint layout and AS was so damn slow like it's running on a Pentium 1... While I have Core I7 with trubo boost up to 3.1 😒

    @gitpush
    Did you just mock Pentium 1?

    @Linux oh sorry forgot how much you liked it 😓
    Hope u got those driver's running 🤠

    2 GB is not that much tbh ^^

    @SitiSchu that's the max it took on my end, I guess you saw a lot more than that 😅

    @Artemix and how about performance, is it good?

    @Artemix well on my end it is fast but UI designer just sucks. And as u can see memory consumption also sucks

    @gitpush, but the preview tab on the XML editor is getting better with each iteration, so that's nice. I only use the layout editor when playing with a ConstraintLayout. For anything else I use text.

    @Eariel true story, still have to work with constraint layout before I switch fully to text, I feel constraint layout is similar to Relative Layout in terms of coding

    @gitpush, yeah, it's pretty similar but it has more rules I don't know the names yet 😊

    android studio, chrome... resource eaters

    I've never tried Android development but with all these things I hear , what exactly makes it so slow and RAM desperate ?

    Unused memory is wasted memory. Any software running on jvm will always take as much memory as it take unless OS asks the memory back.

    @sayopaul ask google, they're the best to do this, eg: chrome

    @gitpush

    Not in coding but in Media Design I saw RAM usage up to 60 GB lol

    @tahnik yes, but for browsers for example, when the other software to do the same thing use 1/3 of your resources...it's called optimization

    @dontbeevil
    Well Chrome at least has a reason

    @SHA-256 spyware? any other reason?

    @dontbeevil why would they want to optimize their memory usage when jvm is doing it for them?
  • 0
    @tahnik if you write bad code, jvm (or any compiler/interpreter) cannot automagically help you, you need to improve your code by yourself first

    @dontbeevil

    Nope not spyware it's just that the program(The Fourndry Nuke) uses a lot of RAM....but we have 128 GB workstations so it's fine :)

    @SHA-256 damn that's too much RAM lol 😌

    @snj33v and watch my laptop suicide 😌

    Dude my company tries a new security solution from a local startup... It has a memory leak, I have to daily restart the computer because it eats in a night 5gb of ram and up to 20% cpu

    @gitpush We have some Workstations with 256 GB too...more RAM doesn't fit on the motherboard lol

    Android studio, Google chrome...Ram Gluttons

    Wait you said you have an i7 turbo to 3.1ghz... So it's ether a really old PC of a laptop... Doesn't really sound like a ram issue. Just sayin.

    @hexc you can say old, bought it December 2013, has core I7 3632Q
    a clean build takes max 1 minute but as u can see RAM usage is insane when visual studio rarely reach 500MB

    All Jetbrains IDEs have similar memory footprint, I mean don't get me wrong Jetbrains IDEs are some of the best one you will find out there. It's jus that they are coded in Java

    @dontbeevil you misunderstood me. I was talking about the optimisation normally c++ devs does to keep memory on track. The pictures op posted is pretty normal for jvm. Even the simplest java gui can easily eat 2-3 gb ram just because it's available. Surely you can just call system.gc() everytime you are clicking a button, it's just simply not needed.
