Clean Memory - issue
Willy2:
- Then I am interested which programs you use to flush the Metafile (cache). Flushmem ? Can you post more info on those programs (websites) ?
- Did some more research (GOOGLE) and came across something interesting (Yes, it also involves "Cleanmem"). I found this:
http://serverfault.com/questions/325277/windows-server-2008-r2-metafile-ram-usage
The user also had problems (supposedly). The user reduced the Metafile (cache) size by restarting his system. But a large part of the metafile simply moved from the "In Use" part to the "Standby" portion of the memory. See the pictures made with RAMMAP in the link above.
Then I personally did some testing on my own system as well (RAMMAP). As mentioned before Cleanmem offers the user to collapse the system file cache as well. And it turns out that this collapsing of the system file cache reduces the size of the Metafile in the "In Use" part of the memory as well. Although a sizeable part of that Metafile is pushed to "Standby".
Still have to try Flushmem, though. Although it seems to use the SetWorkingSet API and that's something I don't like too much.
makinero:
I do not use Flushmem.
I use three small applications Sysinternals to reducing the consumption of RAM.
Actually, I do not use any applications to reduce memory 16 GB of RAM - so much physical memory is sufficient for using a demanding applications (which use a few GB of RAM).
However, remember to turn on virtual memory (pagefile.sys) even if you have a lot of physical memory.
Willy2:
- Flushmem: I thought as much. I am VERY hesitant to use Flushmem as well.
- But I am still curious what other program(s) (from Sysinternals) you do use. I am VERY curious.
makinero:
Flushmem is a dangerous application allocates a full RAM (100% RAM) or get an error message Out-Of-Memory or other memory errors.
People are naturally curious but I never he likes to share her knowledge.
