Better RAM mangement - IMO it's a very important thing that we need.

I think Corona needs better memory management.

I have some interiors, and just one room can fill up 8Gb of ram, it's not a madness interior, so I don't understand why it can take so much ram with just one scene, I'll publish here the video once it's done so you can see what I mean.

What do you think?
Have you struggled over the scenes to fit them in RAM? (not being super duper complex ram eating scenes I mean... a forest don't count hehehe)

Cheers.

I'm not sure how it works internally but may be corona uses as much ram as possible to store lightning solution, textures, rendered passes,... whatever, and avoid swapping/hd access as much as possible along rendering...

You can see many people rendering vegetations, I did it too over 12Gb ram covering 40.000m² grass (6 variety) with +- 50 trees (6variety), and it worked good.

The question is have you some memory issue impacting your rendering ? If not why by hell should you preserve ram from being used while you paid for it to be full and fast :)
Although if you want to render while doing something else a ram limitation setting would be usefull.

PS : you can eventually check with the corona benchmark interior scene, your interior might be simple, if you subdiv a pillow till 30Mpolys it would still eats ram like a mad shark... may be some object got corrupted in that way ?
