Default Re: Memory Leak and Poker Sites.

[ QUOTE ]
FYI - I have a brand new Precision 380 Workstation and downloaded Party without hardly anything else. I have memory leaks and spikes here and there and slowdowns within the program that aren't too bad, but affect me when playing many tables. Something is up....

Probably poor code, like I said in my first reply. Realize that a lot of these poker sites are not hiring top-notch programming firms to build their poker software. A lot of the programming work is farmed out to what amount to coding sweatshops and the results are about what you'd expect. I don't know for sure that Party's latest software comes from that sort of operation but I wouldn't be surprised.

Probably the best thing you can do is turn off all animations and any other graphical extras. Also, turn off that stupid "CONGRATULATIONS!" thing if they still have it. Reducing the bells and whistles to a minimum should help. If there is a constant memory leak in the software, occasionally shutting it down and restarting it is your only real recourse unless you can eliminate it by disabling features.
