Memory and performance

What each device costs, and how to keep your Mac quick.

Each device on the Board runs its own simulator, and each booted simulator takes about 3 GB of memory. Four devices take about 12 GB.

The Board’s status line and the Board tile in the filmstrip show how many devices are running and roughly how much memory they use.

Keep it quick

  • Remove devices you are not looking at. Their simulators shut down once the Undo notice has gone.
  • Turn True Size off to make every device as large as fits, rather than adding more.
  • Close Devicewing when you are done. A simulator Devicewing started shuts down when its device leaves the window.
