Binary comparison issues (v3.3)
Posted: Thu May 19, 2005 10:53 pm
ExamDiff Pro v3.3 (trial) is still very slow and memory hungry when comparing binary files.
Scrolling panes in binary mode, is extremely slow even when comparing identical files.
The problem with memory is even worst. I've tried to compare two identical 70MB binary files but ExamDiff hangs and replies with an "Out of memory" error. BTW I'm using an Intel P4/3.6Ghz - 2GB. When I've got the error, taskmanager displayed 1.8GB memory consumed by ExamDiff Pro.
Is it a known limitation or some kind of bug ?
The rest features like text file compare, works just fine but I need a program able to compare large binaries too.
Thank you
