[QUOTE="Osiris22x, post: 31935, member: 3542"] Just so you know Padawan, OS X automatically takes care of the memory stuff. The way it works is that once an application closes, the memory is released but left resident (leaving any cache files in memory for faster access). So if a program wants to use that memory later, THEN the OS will release it automatically. My point is, from a developers standpoint, your memory releasing program is most likely actually slowing down the OS because you're forcing it to flush cache files that it may need later, and the OS can handle all of that stuff on its own anyway.
