Reinstalled my Win10PC, Autostakert AS3 is now so slow

[kirkster501]

Hi all, I recently rebuilt my Windows10 i7-8700k/32G RAM machine.  All drivers and all benchmarks other wise superb and machine bang up to date.  A respectable spec with the 1070Ti graphics card as well.  Flies through all other software grand.

I run AS3 3.1.4 (latest 64 bit version) and now this software takes HOURS to do a 20000 16-bit clip.  Before I reinstalled it was fine, albeit on slightly smaller 15000 frame clips.  I notice it uses up all the 32 Gig of memory in the machine as per the picture.  To me it looks like a memory leak in the software.  I have abandoned it trying to compute the reference frame after two hours.  Something is clearly amiss and I have set it up wrong, but struggle to think what.....

Any thoughts folks please?

Thankyou in advance.

Hi,

I should had the camera resolution is a ASI174M, 16-bit and 1936 x 1216 and the "clip" size is 96Gig in size - and I have one for LRGB !!!!!!.  So they are big files.  But it worked before just fine.

No matter.  I found a new piece of software that handles larger captures better: Planetary System Stacker.  It is excellent.
