Usman(Shanijee) talks Eset about Nod32 v3

Re: Usman(Shanijee) talks Eset about Nod32 v3, footprint is high

Hey,

details please!

This would be very good if it is true for mine system, too!

But on my system, Win2kSP4, 512MB RAM, NOD32v2.5 it need a total of 16-18 MB

best regards,

Nod on my machine is Nod32kui=516
Nod32km=18908
--------
Total= 19424

 

Hi flyrfan111,

How did u make NOD32 running so low on resources? What about VM size?

NOD32 on my machine runs
nod32krn.exe:
mem usage - 16,448 vm - 15,546

nod32kui:
mem usage - 2,860 vm - 2,860

Thanks

Regards,
LIW

 

i got this:

nod32krn.exe - 8,048 mem - 16,760 vm
nod32kui.exe - 1,976 mem - 4,748 vm

total - 31,532 mb

 

Just enable 'optimize scanning' in AMON, and it will drop very low.

Here's a shot about 4 minutes ago:

 

There must be other factors that can influence the numbers as well Brian. I have optimize scanning enabled and my numbers are NOD32 krn.exe 17140 and NOD32 kui.exe 512.

 

It takes time though. I guess it only works when it has scanned all files that you use or something.

It's still the same (almost) on my pc even after a reboot.

 

I had such small memory usage on my old computer where I had 128 MB RAM. Now I have 1 GB RAM and my NOD32 uses:
nod32kui.exe - 604 K
nod32krn.exe - 19232 K

 

I'll bet it's consistently in that range give or take a bit, isn't it? With optimize scanning enabled.

 

Hey,

yes sure, it is!

I have optimize scanning enabled for a min. of 3 month now..

But it is definitely/absolute not the lowest footprint! (not anymore..)

It takes too much memory, they (Eset) have to optimize that, to claim lowest ram usage..

Here's an interesting page on RAM footprint
http://www.nod32.com.au/nod32/compare/technology1.htm

 

I see no differencies with optimize scanning enabled or disabled..

 

it always depends,

NOD32KUI.exe ~500K
NOD32KRN.exe ~15000K,5000K,(...)

 

well, generally a total of 17000 K for me.

 

Just over 13000k here.

here at shanijee
nod32krn 18152
nod32kui 24444
i am the winner

 

For me,

nod32krn: ~20000K
nod32kui: ~1400K

These figures have been recorded while using my Internet browser to browse Wilders', and at the same time playing some music on Windows Media Player and Reading a file on Notepad.

 

20k total here.

 

20 kilobytes?

Or is it 20000K?

 

Hey,

hehe, good comparison, but the time is over, that Kaspersky maintain such a higher memory usage..

With Kaspersky 2006 products, the ram usage will be under 10 MB and not 15-22 MB like its now with NOD32 v2.x

best regards,

I don't see what the big deal is about memory usage as long as it isn't exorbitant. If it takes a little more memory to scan everything efficiently and thoroughly, it doesn't bother me at all.

I'm sure KAV and NOD32 work very differently and this is good. It helps make everyone safer when detection is approached differently by many different minds and techniques

 

I am more interrested in the overall Performance impact on my system.
And how fast the scans are etc.
Memory usage is not important for me, it has hardly any impact
even when it doubles.
Normally you have enough memory in your system,
memory speed is in Nano-secs , but disk speed is in milli-secs !!! so what about that.
So it is nice to have a low memory usage, but what about if i want to scan my 400GB disks ?
and it takes more then a day!
There are now new systems sold, with 2 GB internal memory and
More then a terrabyte of diskspace, what do you think will become a bottleneck regarding
AV performance?

 

IMO, it is the CPU usage that is critical. RAM is there to be used. However, if the av uses a ton of the cpu, then your system will drag. NOD has a super speedy scanner which helps reduce its cpu usage. For example, if I have nod with maximum settings(like scan archives and all files with heuristics on), I notice no drag when using Explorer to see my files. With Kaspersky or Bitdefender, my computer stutters and the files take forever to display. Under 20MB is not much at all. Many firewalls take up a lot more than that, and other programs! Disable some services, and you gain the difference in RAM quite easily.

Hey,

so then buy me one, if you have the money, I don't have it!

This is no way to go and bad reasons and argumentation..

Yes, of course, overall performance is important and the way to go, but then Eset shouldn't claim NOD32 with the smallest footprint/lowest memory usage..

There are already other AV apps with lower RAM usage, like AVG or F-Prot and now and in future KIS and KAV 2006 from Kaspersky..

If Eset can handle it, that NOD32 v3 lower the memory usage and have the fastest overall performance, with an footprint of under 10 MB, this would be very cool and perfect

thx and best regards,

iNsuRRecTioN ---> Stop thinking this way. RAM usage differs from system to system. The real RAM usage can be misured on system with at least 512MB-1GB of RAM and no paging file. Your Kaspersky may use less then 10MB of RAM, but 20MB or more of paging file.
