Although P8 cannot use more than 3 GB of memory, if you had 4 GB of memory instead of 1.25 GB, then P8 would often be much faster.
At 1.25 GB, your OS is using a lot, the editor uses a lot, and the renderer is only getting less than 600 MB. That's not enough and you end up swapping. Increasing the memory, even only to 2 GB will make a big difference from 1.25 GB. Because while it is less than 100% increase overall, for the amount that the renderer will be given it is much more than a 100% increase.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
