Changing the FileMaker Pro cache size
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 insert a large graphic into a database file
Consider decreasing the cache size if you plan to run several applications
at the same time and you have a limited amount of memory (RAM) installed.
Note When you increase or decrease the FileMaker Pro cache size,
you also increase or decrease the amount of memory needed to run
FileMaker
Pro.
For more information on managing memory, see the documentation that
came with your computer.
To change the cache size that FileMaker Pro uses:
1. In FileMaker Pro, choose Edit menu > Preferences.
The Preferences dialog box appears.
2. Click the Memory tab.
3. Type a number in the Attempt to set file cache to box, then click OK.
The next time you start FileMaker Pro, the new cache size is used.
