Using O&O CleverCache Pro File System Cache Manager
Finally able to replay back to some questions:
The otherday this week I was reading about O&O CleverCache Pro for Windows XP HME or PRO. What I had found interesting that it handles the file system cache and memroy freeing a different way. The first image shows you before using OOCC and after using OOCC.
So without OOCC: 279MB
So with OOCC: 19MB
All my systems now run this program I've disabled and turned off tweakpowerpack 2006 Ram Ide Pro. Which only free up memory. OOCC does more than that as you can see above and below.
Tested Systems
OS:
1-XP Pro SP1, 3-XP Pro SP2, 4-XP MCE 2005 SP2
CPU:
1-Mobile PII 266MHz, 1-Mobile PIII 850Mhz, 1-Mobile PIII 1GHz, 1-AMD Mobile 1.8GHz,
1-AMD X64 2600+, 2-AMD X64 2800+, P4 Presscott 2.6GHz
Laptops with only one: HDD:
3-40GB & 1-60GB, RAM: 1-256MB, 2-512MB, 1-1GB 4-Wireless
Desktops with more than one: HDDs:
1-260GB, 1-320GB, 1-500GB, 1-560GB, 1-4-1GB 4-Wired 1-Wireless option.
One system I use as Printer Server, before OOCC: 495MB, after: 22MB with OOCC . So doing this does not overwhelm the resources of your main memory. More memory can be made available to your system, reducing the need for swapping segments of memory onto the hard disk. As a result, applications and operating systems can react more quickly.
Here is what you see on the very first page.
This is the actual memory, usage memory allocated memory, file cache use and not used.
Results: Streaming Live TV and AV Media over the network wired and wirelessly, downloading an normal general task, on some older systems like the Mobile Intels there was much improvement in speed for accessing applications and opening up IE. The desktop AMD X64 and P4 Presscott were fast before, but better file cache and memory manage made opening up applications seem alot faster. More operations task though, still testing daily with Anti-V and regular stuff I run in the background so far so good. System quite stable.
Note: Download is free for 30 days but it's the trial version. After installation there really isn't anything to configure, it's pretty much takes over the control for you.
