Hi all,
I am a new PixInsight user and am still learning to use the program effectively.
I have been using the program heavily while I learn and have noticed that the first use of the ImageIntegration process is very slow to start.
When executing a the process in the global context, it takes up to two minutes before the processing console opens and starts showing the processing status. The first message is a notation that 3500+ cached items have been loaded. I assume that is what is taking up the time before starting to work on the list of files supplied.
Is there a way to periodically clear that cache so I don't incur such a first use time penalty? I would probably like to clear the cache as I move from one image processing project to another. Once I have finished playing with one image set and move on, I don't especially need to save the cached items from that project.
I should also note that I am using a relatively fast computer. It has an i7 2630 processor with 8GB RAM and a couple of 500GB hard files. After the long initial delay with ImageIntegration, PixInsight is actually quite speedy.
