Hello,

Graham has a very valid point. Sometimes you may run out of physical memory
and then Windows starts swapping. When swapping occurs the operating
system gets full control and applications may appear to be "hanging" 
(you get "not responding" message) but it fact it waits for Windows
to finish memory swapping process.

Anyway in newest betas of AmiBroker (4.66.0 or higher)
have new control for maximum  megabyte size of stock data cache (previously it had only the limit
on number of stocks) in Tools->Preferences->Data  (see the read me).
This new control was added specifically to address such problems
as previous versions could try to use too big cache.

Now with version 4.66.0 or higher the default limit of data cache is 25% of physical RAM.

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
