I know for a fact its written in Autoit, so its probably using calling the dll's kernel32.dll and psapi.dll. It works and I like how it will optimise the RAM after a certain threshold.how good is it? I'll try it later but I'd like to see more opinions on it before i try lol
I can assure you that Windows will optimise it better.guinness wrote:I know for a fact its written in Autoit, so its probably using calling the dll's kernel32.dll and psapi.dll.

EmptyWorkingSet doesn't reduce the memory used, it just pages it to the hard drive, so it's an artificial reduction in memory. Calling it every 5 seconds is pointless, figure out where your memory leak is coming from before you start trying to find workarounds to bad code.
It's like you're building a house on mud, every day it sinks a little bit more unless you jack it up, you're not fixing the problem you're just fixing the symptom, the house is still sinking only you don't see that it's happening anymore. Out of sight out of mind is not good coding practice.
Thanks for the breakdown - I expected as much.guinness wrote:Actually the program doesn't optimise anything, it just calls the EmptyWorkingSet function against the running processes and from reading around, this can have an adverse affect on the running process. My advice, let Windows deal with memory management, this is what the kernel is designed for.
