RAM, or Random Access Memory, is the memory your computer is immediately using. The difference between RAM and the hard drive memory can be compared to the difference between having files on your desk and having files safely stored away in an archiving room: The files on your desk as much easier to access than the ones in your archive, and it takes time to pull new files from the archive. This is the same for your computer and RAM.
Files need to be loaded into RAM before the computer can really use them, and storing and removing them from RAM takes time. These settings allow you to choose how much of your virtual desk you dedicate to Krita. Krita will then reserve them on start-up. This does mean that if you change any of the given options, you need to restart Krita so it can make this reservation. This is the maximum space Krita will reserve on your RAM on startup. It’s both available in percentages and Bytes, so you can specify precisely.
Krita will not take up more space than this, making it safe for you to run an internet browser or music on the background. Internal PoolĪ feature for advanced computer users. This allows Krita to organize the area it takes up on the virtual working desk before putting its data on there. Like how a painter has a standard spot for their canvas, Krita also benefits from giving certain data it uses its place (a memory pool), so that it can find them easily, and it doesn’t get lost among the other data (memory fragmentation).
