You can set the function to a hotkey and call it many times.

The thing is you want to use as much RAM as possible, RAM you aren't using is being wasted. Data gets loaded to RAM to speed up access to it, if it isn't in RAM it is loaded from the disk which is far far slower.

anyone had any issues with Windows 7 ??

There is a free program, Minimem, that appears to use the same technique to automatically lower memory usage on a per application basis (along with other bells and whistles): http://main.kerkia.com/Tools/Minimem/Download.aspx

Wow, that's impressive. Managed to reduce Chrome's memory usage by about 90k

I'm curious though. Does the *Allocated* memory stay the same, even though the "active" RAM is reduced?

I don't actually understand how allocated memory works, but I do see in Task Manager that using FreeMem reduces MemUsage very drastically, but the Virtual Memory stays the same.
For example, Mem Usage might drop from 8 mb down to 700 kb, but the VM Size stays at 8 ~ 9 mb.

Can other apps use that Virtual Memory, or is it locked to the specific app?

Any clarification or ideas about how to interpret the different memory usage readings????

Thanks.

Perhaps we could use a discussion of how this differs from VarSetCapacity() ?
