Ok, point taken. Even though I'm on a 64bit system the executable is 32 bit so yes, 3gb will be the max memory. And I do see it creep in that direction. It would be nice to have a 64bit native executable. But that path has been tread before. I don't expect to see that any time soon.
So what allocator is Firestorm using? It sits around 1.6gb for me where the dev viewer keeps growing.
