Macro Toolsworks: awfully expensive and way too complex for my needs. Straight text expansion-type apps cannot do this, because it requires logic processing, hence a built-in macro language.

These professional users welcome the extra measures that, yes, require a very small extra system load which is, however, barely measurable. You may not need these security measures but other users store many thousands phrases with PE and rely on this data for doing business. We believe, that you may like the reason as it increases data security and operation safety: PE creates auto-backups, scans the phrase file for integrity, uses a shadow copy method to save you from data loss in case of a power failure, etc. PE is a mature application and does more things at startup and during data I/O operations. However, I agree with you up to a certain degree. If you come to another conclusion, I would be curious to learn how you measure it. It should be very similar to other well-designed text replacement utilities. If you turn off PE's extra features, it barely exceeds 0.5.1% CPU of a normal today's computer when used for plain text replacement. And most of the little additional CPU load is caused by the unique text prediction feature that analyszes your text input to automatically create new phrases based on your individual writing style. I don't believe that PE uses so much more of that dynamic data unless you use the extra options that it has to offer.įor example, it requires (a little) extra memory to store formatted text but if you don't use it, the extra memory is not required. Then there is dynamic data for the actual user data and internal program tables required for the program operation. They have to load linked libraries of often multiple times of their size. On top of that, programs require memory for linked libraries that are loaded with them. I posted the file sizes as this is somehow a good start to compare system loads: Programs require at least the memory of their own size when executed. We are spartans in this regard and hate waste of memory. It is because such gimmikry has only limited value. You won't find any fancy stuff such as gauges, statistics graphs or extensive use of graphics buttons in PE. That is why PE may look reduced or even "boring" for some at first. However, we took utmost care to minimize system load in general.

It just does mean that Windows decided, that PE could quickly use 100MB if it would need it. So, if you find in task manager, that PE seem to take 100MB RAM in your system it doesn't mean that it is required by PE. Think about it: In theory, it is no good and would be waste if you have unused RAM at all.

In an ideal system all memory would be allocated and your task manager would show zero free RAM. The actual programs have only very little influence in this procedure. If, however, another program requires more memory, it will be taken from the unnecessarily allocated memory. It does not mean, that the program necessarily requires that allocated memory but it can use the memory quickly, if it should become required. The Windows task manager, for example, is not a suitable tool to measure memory load as it only shows the memory that is temporarily allocated by Windows for any launched program. If you already know all this, please allow it for other readers: Measuring "memory consumption" sometimes is based on misconceptions.

I just would like to write more about system resources in general as system resource efficiency is actually one of our main software design requirements. The following is not to convince you to switch. Please understand that I can't see from here whether you already know all that or not.
