Adjusting the FileMaker Pro cache
FileMaker Pro maintains an internal cache of portions of your database.
Depending on your computer’s memory configuration, you may want to
adjust the cache size to improve performance.
You may want to consider increasing the cache size if you plan to:
1
work on a large database file
1 work on several database files at once
1 host database files
1 use a database file that contains many graphics
1 insert a large graphic into a database file
You may want to consider decreasing the cache size if you plan to:
1 run several applications at the same time and you have a limited amount
of memory (RAM) installed
Note By changing the FileMaker Pro cache size, you also affect the amount
of memory needed to run FileMaker Pro.
For more information on managing memory, see the documentation that
came with your computer.
Changing the cache size
To change the cache size FileMaker Pro uses:
1. In FileMaker Pro, choose Preferences from the Edit menu.
