When would you want to run it and/or automate its running? Is it possible that it could instead have a negative (temporary) impact on system performance? My hunch is that it comes down to a matter of balance - you want RAM used, but not so much of it used that it starves the system and/or other programs (correct me if I'm wrong). I noticed this function was added to the latest beta, i.e.: GUI: Add new function 'Options / Memory / Purge Standby List and System File Cache now'įirst, is this function basically the functionality of this tool here?Īnd then most pertinent, does this function of purging/cleaning/clearing RAM/standby/cache actually help? I'm not well versed on the subject, but I wonder if it's in the same vein as the old "RAM cleaner" type programs, which actually would do more harm than good because unused RAM is more or less "wasted" RAM (and performance would suffer after using these cleaners as the OS + programs would have to waste cycles loading things back into memory).

Regarding the function of purging/cleaning standby list/cache/RAM.
