I just upgraded my MMA to 4.0.1 along with an order of magnitude increase in hardware. The new MMA generates graphics much faster. Unfortunately something is amiss with regard to running a large animation. I have run exactly the same animation under MMA 3.x and did not have the problem. And that was with half the RAM I now have. What happens is that the entire animation does not stay in physical memory. I can hear the hard drive reading and writing at the same time I see the animation slow to a crawl. When I look at my resources the indication is that Linux is not using its swap space, and the physical memory is not even close to exhausted. I don't really know how to approach this. I have a 600MHz PIII with a 133MHz outer bus, an ATI Rage 128 GL AGP with 32 Meg of RAM, 256 Meg of 133 MHz system RAM, kernel 2.2.13, SuSE 6.3, and I am using the KDE. Any ideas?
