CleanMem keeps memory use in check on the system without the memory being pushed to the page file. This in turn keeps the system running smoother.
The people who will notice the biggest performance increase are ones who don't have a lot of memory installed. (More memory is always better!)Download
The reason is when your system starts getting low on memory Windows will start to move memory to the page file. The page file is ran off your hard drive. The hard drive is the bottle neck of performance on a system. So the slower the drive the slower the system goes as it tries to work with the page file. When you use CleanMem you help keep the system from using up all its memory. In turn Windows doesn't push anything to the page file, and we avoid the huge slow down from page file usage.
Why use CleanMem
To make sure the memory is being used in the best way it can and avoid memory leaks and such using up all the memory. Lots of people feel the memory is a resource and should be used as much as possible. however, eliminating , the left over trash is generally a good idea.
So how does CleanMem work?
CleanMem Works buy calling a Windows API. CleanMem doesn't change the working set of a processes. It simply asks Windows to do all the work. So Windows does the trimming, the moving and manages everything. This is why there is never any crashes of programs and any performance hit to the system. To put it short CleanMem doesn't work against the Windows memory manager, it works with it.
Changelog:
Added a new remote feature. This feature is for pro versions. You can now view the memory and stats from the mini monitor remotely. You can also run CleanMem from the remote viewer. Of course the mini monitor must be running on the remote machine to pull the stats. This works both on local networks and over the internet. You will need to setup a port forwarding rule in your router to view over the internet. Port forwarding guides and help are on PcWinTech.com
Added a new screen saver that will pull the data from the mini monitor and display it on the screen saver. This is for both free and pro versions. The mini monitor will allow pulling of stats from both the free and pro versions on the local host 127.0.0.1. The free version will only pull the stats available in the free version.
Added a remote viewer program as well. You can use this to view the mini monitor remotely.
I have included the source code for both the screen saver and the remote viewer, both in visual basic 6. This way others can build more and better screen savers and remote viewers for the mini monitor. Please let me know if you build one and I will link to it on my site.
Per user request I have added a global hotkey to reapply the on top setting. This is for when another program calls the windows api to take the top most order (Puts the window on top of all others) Now a person can use a hot key to put the mini monitor back on top without having to go back into the settings and turn it off and back on.
