[QUOTE="Discerptor, post: 1351224, member: 12177"] I'm well aware of how OS X is [i]supposed[/i] to deal with RAM. The fact remains that there are a handful of apps that seem to break that management when it comes to inactive RAM, though. Those situations are just about the only times clearing the inactive RAM becomes a useful gesture. Back when I was more interested in looking into it, I think I may have tracked down something about how OS X handles big reads from the disk, but it's all foggy now. [/QUOTE]
