My original issue was something (a program...I found it had been the index service) had left memory allocated but was no longer actually using it. it was not because I 'had too many programs open' or etc
I appreciate the replies but some of you seem to have missed the point.
I always keep my startup clean of BS and have numerous services disabled that I don't need, etc.
yeah I've used ones that have done the same thing. this one doesn't seem to have that problem. it's quite instant and I really haven't noticed any performance degradation after using it. honestly...if anything....stuff runs better. but that might just be some placebo.I have used RAM cleaners. Apparently, if you have cleared too much RAM, your PC might hang for a while.
I guess that's a bit outta my IT scope....cuz it doesn't mean much to me =PApparently it works by enumerating running process and calling EmptyWorkingSet() API call on each process.
superfetch is there for a reason though, I'd like to leave it alone. since I open pretty much the same programs all the time it's probably being beneficial to me
