Minimem

Whenever the computer memory is overbusy, the overall system performance might be affected as well. Minimem is an optimization tool designed to help you avoid this problem by reducing the memory usage of large and memory-heavy applications, such a Internet browsers.

Minimem runs silently in the system tray, enabling you to access all its features from the right-click menu. The 'Settings' window is where you can view a list of the running processes, the memory amount they are using and choose the ones you want to tweak. The interface is intuitive and well-organized, displaying all the active and optimized processes in two different panes, together with the available and the total memory.

You can define the lower memory usage limit and set the application to hide the processes that use less memory. Optionally, the foreground processes can be fully excluded from the optimization process. If the overall available RAM is above a user-defined level, memory tweaking can be automatically stopped.

By default, the time interval to perform optimization is 30 seconds, but you can customize it according to your needs, which comes in handy for those who are working with multiple resource-consuming applications.

The unnecessary memory pages are removed from the selected processes during optimization, but Minimem allows them to load back whenever needed. The memory footprint of the target program is reduced, while its functionality is not affected.

If you are not satisfied with the chosen options, you can return to the default configuration with a single click, using the 'Reset' button. You can access 'Task Manager' directly from the application, in order to monitor running processes.

Providing an intuitive user interface, Minimem is a non-intrusive application that can enhance the system speed, while offering you full control over the optimization process. It comes in handy for running multiple applications simultaneously, without affecting computer performance.
