Their nothing wrong with the link that Chris posted and I can see everything on that website using Firefox Browser you may have something added to your browser that blocking pictures.
I’m afraid it can give a wrong idea.
The thing is that it’s impossible to say how much memory a program uses unless you know exactly how it works internally (which you don’t, unless you’re its developer). Just looking at the numbers in Task Manager (or similar tool) says very little. If you have multiple processes, the memory may be shared amongst them, so it’s not possible just to sum the numbers (but maybe it’s not shared - which is exactly what you don’t know). From the developers’ point of view, it’s possible to tweak the memory usage such that the numbers shown are very low - but the performance is actually worse than before. Or, you can allocate the memory such that it’s not shown at all here.
So, while the numbers might be “mostly OK” for some, they also may be completely wrong for others - so the “order” may be completely wrong as well.
Well using less RAM logically slows down the performance of the resident shields and when it takes time to scan to system becomes slow.
On the otherside using too much RAM may lead to system freezing if you don’t have enough RAM or system slow down also O.O?
Is that what igor mean?
I didn’t mean one thing in particular, there are certainly a number of tricks.
For example, you can tell Windows to “forget” the data you have in memory (thus the memory usage of your process drops significantly). Sounds nice… but of course, if the data is needed one millisecond later, Windows has to read them back from disk - which is pretty slow, of course. So, this emprying might have sense after some big operations… but if a program keeps doing that every second (simply to look like it’s using very little memory), it will hardly speed things up.
If you allocate your memory block in a driver, it won’t be visible in Task Manager at all, even if it were 1GB. (I’m not saying that it’s necessarily bad, there might be a reason for it… just that the numbers in these “statistics” are then hardly comparable, you may see a true value for one product, and one tenth of the true value for the next one… so it really doesn’t say much about reality).
I still don’t see the pictures but the link does work. I have IE8 with no addons other than Flash and Java. There are just two large empty boxes with a red X in the top left corner. Right clicking and choosing show picture also does not work.
