As the author of this tool I’d like to comment on the .NET thing to bring some more info. Indeed, Minimem relies on the .NET framework, which I used to implement the GUI. Frankly, .NET is far more powerful than pretty much anything else to develop user interfaces and I really see no issue with using it, quite the contrary. The memory optimization engine is however implemented in C++, and it has to since it directly accesses the Windows API which does not offer any managed code interface today (I could have used interop too but that would not be far from using C++ anyway). More in general, rejecting a program because it has a reliance on .NET seems quite short-sighted in my view, especially if one assumes that this reliance implies the whole application is sluggish and a memory eater: believe me, it is very easy to code memory consumers in C++, especially that memory management is left to developers, and good developers can definitely implement very efficient applications in .NET.

My test of Opera memory usage showed that app can consume a lot of memory because it is beneficial for speed, even if not critical for operation. It doesn’t actually need that much but it would be faster to recall recent data from memory, than from disk.

I know, but it really seems working for Firefox. On my FF experience it slowly occupies more and more memory, going to 400 Mb. This program keeps it down at 200 Mb, and I don’t need to reload FF every day, – with no performance degradation, I repeat.

I like to have some “fat” application in memory, to launch a game without quitting them all, to launch Virtualbox with large amount of memory assigned to VM… This program helps with it all

A memory optimizer…that uses .NET? ROFL! Talk about an oxymoron!
I was interested in the application described in this article until I read “requires the Microsoft .net Framework 2.0″ from the last paragraph.

I know, guys what you thinking, but it really works. I saw that on run-time RAM usage meter.

My free RAM on application set I like is 700-600 MB without this program, and 1Gb with it. For me it’s important.

In fact, it is not the only one .Net 2.0 application I use – FileHamster run-time backup is running on both my PCs all the time.

I use CleanMem ( http://www.pcwintech.com/cleanmem ) to free up overallocated memory. It apparently may do the same things as Minimem, but does bor have a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

removing as many non-necessary memory pages as possible from the selected processes

Ehm… And it determines what is non-necessary how exactly? :)

Lately I slowly came to believe that if smart (important part) app wants a lot of memory let it have it.

My test of Opera memory usage showed that app can consume a lot of memory because it is beneficial for speed, even if not critical for operation. It doesn’t actually need that much but it would be faster to recall recent data from memory, than from disk.

And on modern computers with 2GB and more that makes perfect sense.
