2020 M1 Mac Mac OS Tahoe 26.4 16GB RAM Computer is on 16-18 hours a day, Roon running relentlessly. Looking at Activity Monitor, build 1645, RoonAppliance lingers continually at 1.36GB while roon flickers between around 830MB to 860MB. Apologies for not first setting a baseline on the prior bui…

On this topic, there is also a quite detailed look at RAM on macOS with B1644 here: [image] Memory under pressure: your experiences with Roon garbage collection Tinkering Background I’ve been a Roon customer for less than a year and I enjoy using it daily. It’…

Thanks for the feedback. Little above my pay grade, I’m afraid. I’m a simple man, merely responding to roon’s request for EA build RAM usage. Appreciate, it, though. Have a good day!

I thought it’s interesting for Roon Labs, as they may not look in Tinkering

Quick update, a full day later… The RAM usage is now routinely hovering around three gigabytes for each of the two processes. Quite an increase. Is this still within normal usage parameters? Thanks!

For grins and giggles, try this and see if the numbers are close enough for a quick sanity check. How close does my contrived math get to the real memory reported by Mac OS? 1. Get real memory size for RoonAppliance RoonAppliance is the main process to pay attention to. RoonServer is started by R…

Feel like a couple guys from tinkering might be really trying to get your attention, roon! LOL

As you experiment with this, if you don’t mind, feel free to ping me with updates and results. We are starting to slowly land memory related perf improvements. Some of those changes are reducing the number of allocations required for certain operations which should hopefully led to less memory/gc pr…

Maybe we could have these stats available for ROCK? CPU utilisation & load, RAM usage, CPU & System temp, Fan speed in a web page.

I’ll double check when I am home, but yesterday I saw memory in use upto 7gb with a 40k track library (not my full local library nor with Qobuz). I discounted this initially as I was importing some local files but think it stayed up there. This is on a clean install and database with nothing to clea…
