Back in July i had 989 mbs in my Memory thing on the f3 screen Now its August and I now have 494 mbs in Allocated Memory?Is this a Glitch or What? I deleted a Ton of Screenshots from My .minecraft folder and i have Vanilla. Im no Computer expert so can you guys Please explain to me whats going on to where i can Understand? thank you
That is normal. Minecraft should never use more than 1GB of RAM for vanilla.
The old launcher forces users to use a minimum, and maximum of 1GB of RAM for allocation. Hence, it will show that much prior to the 1.6 update. In the new launcher, only one flag was inserted, the -Xmx1G, which means Minecraft can use an upward maximum of 1GB of ram for allocation, and if it doesn't need it, it will not use that much at all.
Also i got a system low on virtual memory message on my comp when i forgot to shut off minecraft for 3 hours. Along with Firefox, plus my megabytes in f3 have been skyrocketing real fast then it goes back and forth like i would have 60mb then i would have 107mb then back to 60
