I've been using BCB 5 for some time. I have two issues dealing with
memory that cause me grief. First, I have a compiler that calls "new" a
fair number of times. When I profile the compilation, the function
"SearchSmallBlocks" takes half the compile time. That seems excessive
to me. Second, if I allocate a few hundred megabytes of memory, then
run some other program that causes all that to swap, my program seems
unable to recover once the memory is free again. It's as if it just
leaves the data on the hard drive and works from there. Anyone else
seen these issues? Anyone know if these have been fixed in BCB 2006?
