axis use of memory

Hi everybody

    First of all, I am using EMC2 on an old system it is a
Celeron 850 MHz coppermine CPU with 192 MB RAM 
the machine is a wood router with 3 axis system from xylotex
the version of EMC2 is 2.2.7 from the 6.06 ubuntu version 
I had installed the 8.04 hardy version but this older version
runs a little better on this machine.

   OK the problem is when i load a part program with axis
the system slows down and it looks like is loading the whole
program into RAM which is a problem if the file is big and 
the memory is low.

   I am actually using xemc as it does not have this problem
but i miss the home all axes in sequence functionality.

   Sorry for my bad English and thanks for any suggestion you can give me

Regards

Ulises

Re: axis use of memory

I would guess you are right on the edge... If you used stepconf to generate your config try 
putting a larger number in for the latencey test this will allow more time for other things to 
happen like drawing the screen...
