Memory Optimizer
RAM is an essential factor in the performance of your system. The more RAM available, the better you
can use your system and your applications. Due to frequent starting and stopping of various
applications, during a computer session, the memory is consumed more and more, because some of
the applications and components are not removed from the RAM if they are terminated. These
components are left in the RAM memory, so that the same application after a new start can be loaded
faster, and therefore these components do not have to be reloaded.
With Memory Optimizer, you can remove no longer required components from the RAM memory. The
optimization of RAM can be made automatically or manually as needed.
To start Memory Optimizer, go into the Optimization category and click Memory Optimizer:

depending the CPU load. If you want the automatic optimization only takes place when the CPU is only
up to 50% capacity, then select the When CPU usage is: and adjust the slider to 50%. Also you can
choose Smart optimization and let Memory Optimizer decide when automatic optimization should be
made.
