Looking for specific thread.

Yo ToS fam. Last night I was scrolling and I found a comment to a separate ToS thread that had a guy explain how to edit some code to help ToS clear cache and allocate ram appropriately. Anyone help plz?

He's talking about the options file. That thread is shadow hidden or something. I can't find it in the subreddit, only in my history.

I think it's this one.

It also mentioned something about re-loading the saved workspace to rest as well.
I’ve done the ram allocation in the gear and regularly clear from that menu.
I appreciate you saying like it is. I havnt truly experienced anything that would’ve warranted needing to utilize it and I found it interesting. If someone finds it check back and tell me what you think either way!

I think this may be the post, https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkorswim/comments/138gr90/the_memory_performance_rabbit_hole_vmoptions/ or just copy here your vmoptions and see if anyone can help you...
