well, THIS annoys me. project wants 12.x GB ram to run. i run it on my computer i bought 16gb of ram for (specifically for the project years ago), and it's only using 400MB of ram.

don't really want to run it on the 16GB machine as i want to be able to pause BOINC on a moment's notice, and Blender doesn't seem to like being paused (or at least didn't used to). i'd rather prefer to run it on my 8GB headless shiny new Haswell Pentium machine which is in between video processing jobs ATM. that and i don't have the money for another 8GB, plus it would pretty much be a waste
