Hi,
Having had previous issues with large document production when using a 32bit EXE with the aspose.words.net DLL, often seeing memory spike to massive levels causing out of memory issues, I wondered if we utilized the .net 8+ version of the aspose.words.dll, does it make use of the multitude of improvements in performance, memory optimization and garbage collection?
Do you have any example benchmarks?
@GMiddleton I am afraid we do not have such benchmarks. However, as far as I know .NET8+ has better memory management than .NET4.8.
In addition, for reducing memory usage upon processing extremally large documents, you can try using LoadOptions.TempFolder, SaveOptions.TempFolder and SaveOptions.MemoryOptimization properties.
Thanks, I’ll definitely try those options out.
I’ll produce my own benchmarks, but I can understand it’s difficult as its 100% dependent on document content which is infinitely variable.
However, I don’t think our issue was with loading or saving, but with building the document in memory.
Do these settings help with that or are there other settings that can help use a temporary file cache while building the document in memory?
@GMiddleton Yes, you are absolutely right, memory consumption depends on many factors, such as input document format, it’s complexity and content. The following article might be useful for you:
