Poker calculator software slowing your computer down?

Question from a user of poker software that is having trouble when multi-tabling: I'm having some trouble with Tournament indicator/holdem indicator/omaha indicator and multitabling at the same time. I'm trying to multitable on full tilt or on poker stars but ti/hi gets like 20k memory usage per application, so when you multiply that by 10 (iId normally want to multitable more than 10), its 200k. So, that brings in a huge amount of lag. Is there a way to get TI/HI/oi to make it use less memory usage?

I really doubt your problem has anything to do with Tournament Indicator. I don't think you can find any 3rd party software that takes up less RAM as it is a very smooth and non-demanding application. I think it's all up to your computer like JP explains below:

Chart for 1 Gigabyte = 8,589,934,592 Bits = 1,073,741,824 bytes = 1,048,576 Kilobytes = 1,024 Megabytes.

Most systems the entry level standard these days is 2Gb which is 2+ million k so 200k usage shouldn't be that big a deal at all.
(2,097,152 Kb less 200Kb used still leaves over 2,000,000 Kb untouched by TI)

Game software and each table takes a chunk, HEM takes a big chunk in a couple apps not just HEM but also SQL's are running plus the HUD and the app along with auto download history if running it on the fly during games rather than after.

That is not to mention other programs (not poker software) and apps you have running in the background you may not even be aware of.

Best approach is to add RAM and most systems you can add an additional 2Gb. If you have only 1Gb or less ram that is your problem. If you have 2Gb ram, you have to review processes and apps running via task manager to determine where your memory is being used. Also, you can adjust your virtual memory or swap file. Sometimes that is set too low.

I think you are just running too much stuff and bogging down the system. But TI itself is a small part. Have you tested playing 10 tables but not adding TI? I would bet you still have some lag going on. Besides, if adding 200k usage is a problem then something else is wrong anyway.
