Tweaking_CleanMem.exe Command Line Switches

Willy2:
- Yep. Using Task Scheduler is also a way to run that Cleanmem program (if you're don't want to fine tune it more).
- Good suggestion !!!!!

Willy2:
- FYI: CLEANMEM doesn't contain sophisticated, complicated & intricate program code that reduces the amount of the "In Use" memory. It's actually comparitively simple to reduce memory usage. From XP onwards, Windows contains an API called "EmptyWorkingSet()" that actually does the "heavy lifting" of reducing memory usage.

Hi Willy2,
Thanks for your follow-up with more in-depth technical info from MSDN.
I'm satisfied with the simplicity and performance of Tweaking_CleanMem.exe.
So far, it works fine.
Thanks Willy2.

Willy2:
- I provided more info because a lot of people question that reducing memory usage (except by closing programs) is possible at all.
- Other people say that one shouldn't meddle with the Windows OS. And I agree but using a Windows API is comperatively safe.
- If you use the stand alone version then you can have a system tray icon that displays the % of free memory. But that's your decision.
- Good to hear the program works well.  :cheesy:

armsys:
Is cwintech's cleanmem better than Tweaking_CleanMem.exe in terms of performance?
Is the US$4.99 paid version of cleanmem worth it?
