Memory Unstable

[jakemobile34]

So, I've done my own research on trying to fine out whats up, but i couldn't figure it out. Now from what i can tell the Memory is acting unstable. I can play and have no issues(seemingly) but I've had this issue for quite a while. My Memory section when i press F3 is spazzing out, what i mean is it will drastically cycle through a lot a ram meaning it rockets up on how much ram its using like it looks like how fast milliseconds go by, then it goes back down to where it was and repeats cycle. As I'm typing this I'm Watching it go through a cycle of 100 MB of ram. now for me its not that much because I have 4g allocated. but i know it shouldn't do that in the first place. if anyone can help let me know what details you need.

 

thanks,

That's normal, and perfectly fine, the JVM is specifically designed to deal with RAM/Objects in this manor. As long as you have little buffer beyond it and it's not FORCING a garbage collection {you can tell by it hitting 99% and then you getting a small freeze} you're fine.

even when in the pause menu? when i exit the pause menu and stay absolutely still it triples the speed of which it does it. I just want to make sure

Eah it depends on a lot of things. Mods could kinda derp things up a bit, but when running around in-world yes BlockPos and a lot of other state objects will be in-out of memory quickly. Are you experiancing ill effects? Lag? Freezes? {they would be noticeble esp as they would always happen at 99% mem usage}

I Never get that high of usage. i mean i can probably do a test and make it use most of its memory, bring the max allocated memory back down to 1g and do lots of buildcraft quarries and use lots of builders. but i was just curious. thanks for the info
