It makes no sense to recover memory from programs if there is still a lot of free RAM available.

How does this CachemanXP feature differ from RAM-Recovery in other programs?Īlmost all RAM-Recovery programs do more harm than good. Since the recovery happens earlier as usual your system will have enough RAM available a much longer time. CachemanXP will wait until the job is done and perform the recovery thereafter.

The postpone recovery on option ensures that no recovery happens if you are working on an important task and do not want to be disturbed. You can configure at which state ( below value) CachemanXP should perform the recovery and defragmentation process. Additionaly CachemanXP will try to defragment your memory.ĭefragmentation is a process that consolidates smaller chunks of memory into larger ones, which can result in a faster computer. CachemanXP won't wait with the RAM recovery until your system runs completely out of RAM. Instead of a fast computer, your cursor becomes a hourglass and you have to wait.

Preferably you would like to work with the data immediately, not wait until Windows makes room for it. This process consumes both CPU time and causes disk activity - it creates a slow down. Now the Windows RAM recovery feature becomes active, programs that have not been used for a longer time are moved out to the Paging File in order to make room for 200 MBytes of data. Then you start loading a data file that needs 200 MBytes of RAM. After hours there is only 100 MBytes of free memory left. You launch several larger applications (for example a VMWare Virtual machine easily cosumes 1000 MBytes and more), work with them and free RAM goes constantly down. After booting up you have 1400 MBytes free RAM left. If Windows does recover RAM already, why bother?Īs an example imagine a netbook computer with 2048 MBytes of RAM. Inactive or crashed programs are simply moved from your physical memory (RAM) to a space on your Hard Drive called the Paging File (=Swap File). You may ask yourself why there are so many programs that offer this feature. RAM Recovery functionality is already included in Windows.
