Memory management stress testing: Lol, I love 7
So, I decided to open a bazillion processes with 7 to see how it would perform with a bunch of apps open, as in more instances of apps and individual apps than I, or almost anyone would ever need to have open.
I think the image speaks for itself. My PC has 2 gb of ram, part of which is shared with the video card for graphics.
Of course it slowed down a bit at first with 42 windows open(plus 7 tabs in opera, including more resource hogging cites like Cnet, facebook, and youtube(playing a video muted)), but I was still able to watch a DVD quality movie without drops in framerate. What amazed me more though is that when I went to the bathroom and returned, rather than continue to run slowly, my computer actually sped up to near how it was performing with only 5 windows open.
I tried doing this with vista once, and I couldn't bear the performance past 12 or so windows. This is some seriously improved memory management.
