Hi,
Experimenting loading the file there is 163 calls to VirtualAlloc()
~1.630 GB memory used
Changing
#define EMEM_ALLOCS_PER_CHUNK (EMEM_PACKET_CHUNK_SIZE / 512)
to:
#define EMEM_ALLOCS_PER_CHUNK (EMEM_PACKET_CHUNK_SIZE / 64)
Gives only 26 VirtualAlloc() so it seems like we waist a huge amount of
memory...
15 VirtualAlloc() with 32 bytes.
Is there a reason not to change to:
#define EMEM_ALLOCS_PER_CHUNK (EMEM_PACKET_CHUNK_SIZE / 32) ?
A data point: A few days ago while working on bug #2375 I noticed that
on Windows that if I defined the env logicals to not use se_alloc & etc
that *much* less memory was required to load a capture. (20% of that
used with se_alloc & etc ? I don't quite remember).
I haven't yet tried this on Linux.
