KRE 9.3.0 any gain in execution time

I have just done the tests and I see that there is no gain in execution time. Worse still, I find that the old version is more stable than this version 9.

You should try allocating more memory to JVM. See

OutOfMemoryError in console mode

Default:

-Xmx2048m

As far as I observe in the Performance Monitor of Mac OS, Katalon Studio v9.0 occupies at least 1.8GB runtime. So -Xmx2048m is tight; not sufficient.

Try this:

-Xmx4096m

With more memory allocated, it is likely the process of your test cases run faster.

I have no concrete idea about KRE performace, but I think that any software upgrades tend to consume more memory to implement new features. Software is a gas. Katalon assinged the default -Xmx2048m several years ago (version 5.x possibly). They should have increased the default value appropriately. But they haven’t ever reviewed it.
