Saving RAM or CPU?
I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and I have a good system that can handle DWM/Aero. I never run GPU-intensive programs, watching HD videos is all I do.
Should I enable desktop composition (Aero)?
I'm not using any visual effects except for "Show window contents while dragging" and I definitely don't want them.
When I start the Themes service and apply the Aero theme, RAM usage increases 90 MB.
When I use the PC without DWM, CPU usage increases while moving windows.
More RAM usage means less programs cached (bloated programs open slower),
More CPU usage means slower processes while moving windows (slower zipping/unzipping, less profitable bitcoin mining).
Which one makes a signicifant difference on performance? 90 MB RAM or %10 CPU?
