Ruke Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I have installed 10.4.6 Jas's DVD in vmware 5.5. Everything is fine. Network and sound is worked well. However, comparing to deadmoo's 10.4.1, it runs slowly. Off course this is familiar phenomenon when one update software, but I notice one thing. XBench shows remarkably low score when it tests memory allocation: Memory Test 16.45 System 8.90 Allocate 3.70 13.59 Kalloc/sec Fill 25.97 1262.94 MB/sec Copy 35.32 729.59 MB/sec Stream 108.48 Copy 78.62 1623.79 MB/sec Scale 120.61 2491.84 MB/sec Add 127.94 2725.42 MB/sec Triad 124.26 2658.27 MB/sec Is this due to the change of memory management Adam Smith inferred in the following post? http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...c=20823&hl= If so (or if not so), does anyone know any solution? My environment is as follows: INTEL Pentium4 2.4GHz(without SSE3) Memory 1GB Sapphire ATI RADEON 9600 Realtek AC'97 Audio Intel PRO/1000 GT and the virtual machine is: vmware 5.5 Memory 384MB Hard disk 6GB(IDE 0:0) CD-ROM (IDE 0:1) Ethernet NAT Audio Auto Detect Virtual Processors 1 OS X 10.4.6 JaS's image(SSE2 patche installed) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23353-slow-memory-allocation-with-mac-os-x-1046-running-in-vmware-55/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwprod12 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 The short answer. With OS X 10.4.4, (IIRC), Apple modified the memory allocation map of the operating system. This map causes VMware to whine and cry. Nothing to be done for it.
