Workbench 3.1.4 icons to fastram ?

[Hercules]

So I been reading the Workbench 3.1.4 FAQ. It states Workbench will use FastRAM whenever possible for displaying icons, but quite the contary is happening - open a drawer full of icons and it eats chip ram like its going out of fashion.

I would use LoadWB SimpleGels with Stephan Rupprecht's WBCtrl but I don't think that will work... Workbench Prefs program has no option to render icons to "other" memory (unlike AmigaOS 3.5's Workbench Prefs program that has such an option.

Any other ideas I can try to save on chip ram? Desktop is in 16 colours with HighGFX driver (1024x768) with Indivision Mk2 AGA scandoubler / flickerfixer. I never had this sort of chip ram usage under AmigaOS 3.9 and ClassicWB.

Thanks for replying. Backed up old icon.library and installed the one above. Unfortunately it still doesn't seem to fix the problem. ChipRAM still gets eaten up in vast quantities... Any other ideas?

Strange the Icon.library 020 by Peter Keunecke should consume much less Chip Ram.
An RTG system definitely solves the problem

My Workbench 3.1.4 test system is running under WinUAE via a PFS3 formatted CF card. Maybe that why... I guess I'll know for sure once I take it out the card reader and boot the A1200 with it.
