Hi,

I have vmm40 working with imagine also, and it renders fine but when it goes int
o the cleanup phase
after rendering a frame it does an inordinate amount of paging. The cleanup phas
e sometimes
takes over 10 minutes! 

My setup is as follows:
  - amiga 4000
  - 18 meg ram
  - 20meg vmm40 partition
  - 2 meg vmm40 buffer

I'm I configuring something wrong?


 thanks,
dave monachello
