Typically, the OS will cache as much of the file as it + can in memory and will release memory as needed to other processes. This means + that Bolt can show very high memory usage when working with large databases. + However, this is expected and the OS will release memory as needed. Bolt can + handle databases much larger than the available physical RAM. + ## Other Projects Using Bolt |
