[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1636595, member: 24160"] Never did change any of the default settings to let it work automatically. I had it set to open at Login and used it manually to free up memory whenever I wanted. I didn't want it activating trying to free memory if I was encoding video for example. In my initial testing of just watching how much was free, found I was experiencing issues at all times when it fell below 100 MB and quite often with as much as 200-250 MB free. So my habit was to use it before I had a problem - whenever I noticed my memory was getting below about 500 MB - unless I had an active app that I knew was actually using and needed that RAM. The primary big hog for me was Safari and still is in 10.10, but it seems the memory management is drastically better about releasing Safari content when another app needs it than previously. For some reason, it doesn't take me long to have 8-10-15 tabs open in a browser. [/QUOTE]
