In the Load engine window the button “Clear hashtable” does not work. I unfortunately have no idea how to check whether after clicking on the button more RAM is available. I remember that the button worked in previous versions. How can I empty my memory without having to switch the computer OFF and then ON again?

 


 

This function does not clear any memory. The content of the hashtable is deleted. That happens before the next search. The program does not give any feedback on this. Of course this only makes sense – if at all – with engines which have already been loaded. The function is only present for historical reasons. It was a function aiming at reproducible search results. With present day engines which work with several CPUs, it is relatively unlikely that the same results will continually be displayed.
