< p class = MsoNormal > < span lang = EN-US > Users have often found that PAMGuard can be
'jumpy', i.e. the spectrogram does not scroll smoothly, but pauses for a second
every few seconds. This is caused by the Java garbage collector cleaning up unused
objects in memory. With 64 bit versions, which allow for more memory, some of
these pauses were becoming quite long (due to the increased amount of memory
that needed to be cleaned up). In some circumstances, these pauses were making
data acquisition systems unstable. We have therefore entirely rewritten the way
in which PAMGuard handles arrays of spectrogram data (complex numbers) so that
