SMP Client Ram usage?

[Freak'n Big Panda]

It seems to be sucking anywhere from ~70MB to ~350MB of ram (depending on the unit) over 4 separate process. Just wondering if this is normal, I know the single core console client takes only about ~10MB so this is quite a change.

perfectly normal. taking up about 250mb on my system at the moment. these WUs are huge and complex, thats why us smp folders get such a big point bonus.

Ahh wicked I didn't know I was getting a point bonus :) Yeah I seriously wouldn't mind if it ate 1.5GB :P I shut it down for gaming anyway.

be careful about that. what speed is your cpu? the deadlines for the smp WUs are really short. shutting it down for too long could cause you to miss the deadline.

Oh crap, my CPU isn't too great either... Athlon X2 @ 2.3GHz. I don't game too too much though, maybe 1-2 hours a day, so hopefully it wont be an issue.
