Process Lasso and Clean Mem

[ilikefree]

I have a program called Clean Mem and it runs in the background and cleans unused memory every 20 minutes.
I noticed in your program Clean Memory is marked with a caution.

In my opinion (and in opinion of those, who know something about memory), memory cleaners, optimizers and other *improvers* in fact slow system down, because they can not recognize, which memory areas are used or unused by applications; furthermore, it can cause data loss, too. So, no wonder it's marked with a caution.

Exactly. I've explained this many times, and need to write a more official explanation. The problem is the explanation is so technical, as virtual memory management gets technical. Basically it boils down to this: You *WANT* as much in your RAM as possible as that is the fastest storage on your PC. By clearing it out, you force applications to go get their virtual memory back from the page file as soon as it is needed (referenced). That is why the warning is there, and why I don't support the feature, and very hesitantly included it only by user demand. The myth is so 'out there' that I had to.

Now, under analysis, I did conclude that is one certain scenario forcing paging out could be useful.. but only ONE. That is if you are about to start an application (e.g. game) that is extremely resource intensive. This may speed it up, as it doesn't have to free (write to disk) memory that it needs.
