It is as good as any other of its kind.
But in reality, these softwares don't do much; optimizing memory sounds good though...

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.

Such programs should be used only in very specific cases. Optimisation sounds good. They free memory, indeed. But they are dumb, while Windows is not. In almost all cases it's best to leave it to Windows. Actually I'm yet to meet a case where manual intervention would be helpful.

I can’t tell if it’s optimizing the system or not so I needed some external verification of the claims of performance increase.
The best I could find was a very strong CNet review from April 2012:

Softpedia claims it works on 64-bit but didn't really speak to the performance increase elements:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Memo ... ster.shtml
In any case, I was very impressed by the fact that it uses less than a meg of memory to run a rather complex and detailed UI, and the taskbar CPU usage meter looks sharp. Plus, running the “optimize memory” function doesn’t appear to take more than 2% processing power on an old Intel 1.8 ghz

I added this when I didn't know much about programming. 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.

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.

Well I'm more than happy to be told otherwise.
