I am wondering, as I have never adjusted this. Do you use texture spooling? It can be turned on or off in preferences.
If you do, how much reserved memory to you use?
Can anyone advise what effect this setting has? Is more or less better?

Texture spooling is useful and is good to use and accelerates rendering - especially for animations. Carrara looks at your system and sets up a good size by doing a quick analysis. Usually, 100M or less is usually a good size - bigger is not better with spooling but, spooling in and of itself, is a good thing.

Thanks, Mark.
Mine is set at 590 MB now, I think I'll play around with decreasing it and see what happens.

Yeh, between 10mb to 100mb. I have gotten better mem at times w/ it off so it's good to experiment.Over 100mbs tends to start causing mem leaks or out of mem issues.
No need to think outside the box....
