Hi. Thanks so much for the response.
Do you mean the CPU usage numbers? Memory values don't change.
Ram used: 62.51GB by VEP and 69.91GB total usage.
I am able to change the preload buffer size. I'm assuming you suggest increasing it? (first instrument I check is 60MB). While I am tempted to increase it for everything, I feel like I shouldnt be getting these spikes since I'm not running the most intensive library as it is?
Just doing this now. Good idea!
I can't not use VEP. My host computer is a 2012 Mac Mini, and I am super limited on RAM.
