I have a middle-of-the-road machine:
Dell 1.8GHz/256 ram -- WinXP
On this machine, RM runs for a while, then just sits there staring at me for a half hour, until I quit or cancel it. It goes through the "values analyzed" part, then the progress bar finishes, and then it sits there, doing nothing, mocking me.
My 1.5 GB page file has 1.3 GB of something in it (registry is ~11 MB). More user feedback would be wonderful, so that I don't have to wait so long before deciding that the program has crashed.
(Another concern would be why it crashed.)
As a test, I ran RM on a different machine:
Home-built Intel 2.6 GHz/1.0 GB ram -- W2k
It ran without crashing. However, when I did a compare, it ran so torturously slow that I was afraid that the compare process had crashed. (CPU useage was pinned at 100% -- paging was modest.)
But overall, a pretty useful tool when not crashing.
Tanx,
Rob
