For folks who missed yesterday's refterm stream - refterm v2 now handles splatting large binary files, VT code text decoration, massive line lengths (1gb in the demo), glyph size correction, and more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99dKzubvpKE …

The memory spike could be that Task Manager doesn't include large arrays as part of the program's memory until those pages are accessed, Process Explorer will show them as "private bytes"

Yes - also there is an additional confounding factor here, which is that since pipes are being used, I don't know how/when the kernel assigns pipe buffers wrt resource monitoring. This is why in the video I mentioned that if you actually cared, "this is not how you would do it".

At some point I will put real resource monitoring in to refterm, because I'd like to know how much of a hit you take with D3D/DWrite/Uniscribe etc., and it'd be pretty easy to figure out with in-proc monitoring.

Cool, yeah that was just something I ran into when I was still using a 32-bit .exe, it would run out of memory even though Task Manager said it was using way less than 2 GB, so now I use Process Explorer instead

Well were you really expecting someone building a float for the excuse parade to understand that the memory usage shown in the Task Manager is just the physical memory consumption of the task, not how much it has allocated? I mean do you even think they know the difference??

That said, I'm fine with using it as a metric, because it's a reasonable measure of how "taxing" it is on the system, probably... like if you allocate 4 gigabytes for use but only ever touch like 32mb, that might be just fine... etc., etc.
