Memory question active program

[Bill Vlahos]

I have an app which logs phone calls. It receives command line input from the phone using an on relaunch handler and updates the log display with time, date and caller name and also does a revSpeak command to announce the caller.

My app works fine when launched but after some time idling there is a long delay (5 or more seconds) for it to respond. If it gets another command from the program soon it responds right away.

I’m guessing something is loaded into RAM when it works quickly. After a while it is unloaded from RAM or cached and then has to reload which causes the delay.

I don’t know if LiveCode is doing this or the Windows 7 PC (64bit) is. The PC has 8 GB RAM.

I suspect it is the PC memory management that is doing this as LiveCode loads everything in RAM.

Is there a way for me to test what is causing this?

Is there a way to prevent this?

Thanks,
Bill Vlahos
