RE: Prime lags after extensive processing
Like I have said, I can't believe more people are not reporting these issues.
They exist, I am not "making this up" for dramatic effect like a Münchausen patient*.
The only answer is that very few are doing serious programming on the Prime.
Have attached screen pics of yesterday's exasperating experience.
I can't fabricate these pics. They are real.

You mentioned that you discovered your "bad coding".
i.e. "After I figured out where the problem was, I fixed it. "

What exactly was the "bad coding" you did ?
Share so I can see if I'm doing the same thing.

As you say, any legitimate code as defined in documentation should not create these problems. They should be trapped internally.
I'm not doing anything unusual. Reading/Writing Lists, Matrices, Spreadsheet, using text Strings for User input/output, common math Functions (no CAS or complicated Calculus type Functions), using the Triangle solver.
Right now I have no Notes type Subs in use.
Any memory Thrashing should be automatically taken care of, transparent to User.
Even the old HP-41 would occasionally show a message of some sort that said it was compressing the RAM. It just did it on it's own.

It's an HP problem. We have no control. They have a moral obligation to fix these issues in a timely manner.


*P.S. for those not familiar with this technical term.
