Such tool forces running program data in RAM to be swapped       into page file. Those running programs need to access their data, thus       causing swapping data back from page file into RAM. While this will increase       performance of programs which will be run, it will decrease performance of       the entire system. Such tool can not actually know which and how much data       is actually needed by the owning program.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
