my prog gets slower and slower

AGS · 18 March 2015, 16:27

Hi,

what bug could this be? When I quit my program and start it again, it gets slower from one run to the next one. But this only with FS-Uae. I checked libs and tasks with scout an nothing of them remains after closing. I have just one idea: memory fragmentation. If this is it, I implement mempool usage for allocating all the objects of the GUI.

The slowness appears when I move the knob of the custom prop-gadget. No allocations done while doing this. Therefore I doubt that it is memory fragmentation.

memory fragmentation doesn't normally affect speed on an Amiga.. In an emulator, on the other hand, all sorts of bugs could cause something like that..

It depends how FS-UAE works. Maybe each time you run your program FS-UAE reserves more memory to be used for running your program on the emulator. Is there any way you can monitor the memory amount used by FS-UAE, or perhaps the emulators CPU usage??
