i believe the problem started with the update that fixed the jumping general problem a while back. the game used to run perfectly fine on my system while also browsing through my fb news feed and editing stuff in google docs. since the mentioned update, though, i have to close out the game tab every hour or so and reload it to keep things running smoothly. the reason is the page file growing constantly the longer the game is open
for those of you who dont know, the page file is virtual memory on you hard drive. when the processes running on your computer require more RAM than you have in your computer, windows moves some of the needed memory to the hard drive. unfortunately, the hard drive operates much slower than actual RAM, so if too much of what you are doing requires data tht has been moved to the drive, you will experience slow, jerky performance.
since i started playing i have noticed that the page file has always grown slowly the longer the game is played, perhaps indicating that there are memory leaks in the game code, or perhaps its just windows being inefficient is using the page file, as i've heard is often a problem (im still using XP btw). either way, the game's memory ussage has increased recently, and it is causing a problem for me and others in my guild.
therefore, i ask the developers to please, if there is any way possible, decrease the memory ussage of the game. make the code more efficient. any efforts in this regard would be very much appreciated.
