[Qgis-user] Is there any way to constrain the resources QGis uses?

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

Qgis works well with 4GB of memory on windows 7-64 for simple projects.  If possible, I would have more that one VM that would be configured with each 4GB of ram and limit 1 user at a time per VM.  If your server can handle the load, that would be the best way to go it think.
