Re: 4 GB RAM and runs so low the PC screams

Finally, most likely conclusion (unless someone can point to something worth improving in the code earlier provided) would be there is a major caveat with Windows O/S.

From what I can find out on other forums related to this problem and other applications, it is often caused by memory leaks in some applications that memory management does not work as smoothly as it ought to.

From my stand point, my conclusion that Windows 7 uses Garbage Collection *soulely for the purpose of storing old memory junk* rather than actually clearing out the data when unused.

The segment displayed in performance monitor as STANDBY memory should actually be FREE and Windows alerts only as to wanting to write this to disk for some odd reason.

I believe it may be a pointer towards stepping back to Windows XP for my Windows based needs and then swap everything to Linux boxes here on after.


However, here comes the big whopper.
------------------------------------

Since this occurs immediately after initiating my processes using MySQL solely, could there really be a memory leak in MySQL causing this?

------------------------------------

I have never seen anything chunk off the RAM this fast before and I do run some major applications and weird scale mathematics in things such as MS Access and Excel from time to time without this being an issue.
