Willy2 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Hazelnut closed this thread http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=42174 before I could add another reply to that thread. So, I opened a new thread. I did some research on my computer system (see my signature for system details) with some 170.000 files. I put the latest version of Defraggler to work and memory usage increased from ~ 4 MB to ~ 110 MB when it analyzed the drive. After finishing the analysis memory usage went down to ~ 80 MB. So, Defraggler does make brave attempt to reduce memory usage. (minus ~ 30 MB). Only PcWinTech's Cleanmem reduces the memory usage down to a mere ~ 2 MB again. But I don't whether or not that would "break" anything Defraggler stores in the memory. When I, after running Cleanmem, put DF to work again then it seems this memory usage reduction (Cleanmem) didn't have a noticable negative impact on the speed with wich DF analyses & defragments a (logical) drive. But that's with a memory usage of ~ 22%. I don't know whether or not it would a difference when a system has a memory usage as high as "Maki" had. I also looked at the size of the file cache (with Cleanmem's Mini Monitor) but after opening the program itself the size of the filecache actually never/barely increased or decreased. In that regard, Defraggler seems to be trying to keep the filecache as small as possible as well.

maki Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Are you crazy? Having a physical system memory 10 GB of RAM or more GB RAM, I do not need stupid optimizers. "This Your ALL Stupid optimizers" RAM, which does not do anything except slow the computer. Allocate max. memory and relieve it. But for other applications start to walk extremely slowly and circle closes !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted November 7, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 7, 2014 Another moderator has already closed this subject as maki seems not to want any solution other than the developers to look into and (if a bug exists) squash the issue. This was not @Willy2, an invitation to reopen the discussion (read fight) in a second thread. Following my intial inclination, and Hazelnut's actual action, of closing that thread, I now close this one. Maki, the developers read all threads and I'm sure they will take you concern for memory use into the lab. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
