These are NORMAL processes of Wise Option desktop application. Please see below for more information and tips when encountering memory flushes.
As Wise Option desktop app runs, it accrues "Cache Memory". This is a temporary memory that helps it run faster. However, if it occurs too much, then it gets slower. There are processes to auto-clear the cache memory called memory flushes. Many of these are designed to occur without you noticing.
However, during times of prolonged and high-volume data entry, it does not have this opportunity. It will then present the warning message, stating that the cache is getting high and that performance may be affected. This allows you to either perform the memory flush to clear the cache or delay this, triggering a reminder within a certain amount of time.
We highly recommend you perform a Tab Transfer to yourself before running the memory flush (quick tutorial on Tab Transfer below), so the exact records you had open will reopen once the memory flush is completed. There is one other situation that may occur: If the cache memory is at extreme levels very quickly (which would lead to detrimental performance), you may get a message similar to the previous one, but with a 3-minute timer instead. Again, we recommend performing a Tab Transfer and running the memory flush. Please be sure to save These memory flushes are a natural process in the program designed to maintain optimal performance. These flushes should never occur without warning (unless the user induces one (right-click menu > Flush Memory).
