Sometimes I compare two huge directory trees from local computer with either external USB hard disk or remote computers.
In Folder Compare pane I then perform big transfers (> 50 GB) of set of files from one side to the other.
As I noticed Beyond Compares seems to allocate for these transfers (or even comparisons) huge amount of memory.
In these situations up 98% occupation of my 8GB physical RAM memory are used.
This is surprising and leads to an instable and slow local (64bit Win 7) system.
It never happens when I not use BeyondCompare.
Even worse: When I finished the file transfers and exit BeyondCompare the allocated memory is NOT released any more (even not after 20 minutes idle CPU activity). This is strange!
Is there a way to tell BeyonfCompare to NOT allocate such huge amounts of memory for internal cache/buffering?
If this limitation leads to slower transfer speed it would be acceptable as long as there is a singnificant lower memory usage.
