memory usage

Question

I want to know if I am not overusing the systems resources. The best way to get a sense of it I figured out could be memory usage estimates. I used four SYS() commands. the first snapshot was done when my major form  just opened and the second one after I added a dozen tables, perhaps more to the pool.

This is the result. Please tell me if it is OK and I am still in the safe range because I have no way of knowing.

#1

Amount of memory Used By Objects I defined-SYS(1016): 2,933,208
Number of memory handles in use-SYS(1011): 6,786
Amount of memory below 640K that is available to
          execute an external program-SYS(12): 655,360
Total amount of memory available to Visual FoxPro
          memory manager-SYS(1001): 1,073,741,824

#2

Amount of memory Used By Objects I defined-SYS(1016): 3,204,820
Number of memory handles in use-SYS(1011): 7,130
Amount of memory below 640K that is available to
          execute an external program-SYS(12): 655,360
Total amount of memory available to Visual FoxPro
          memory manager-SYS(1001): 1,073,741,824

Thanks.

In general, if you're not having a problem, then VFP and memory are getting along. If things are slow, then experimenting with SYS(3050) is a good idea.
