Browser 1 uses 20% CPU and 1.1 Gb of RAM to display 1 webpage. Ridiculous ! Browser 2 uses 1% CPU and 200Mb of Ram to display 2 tabs the one that is currently open is the same webpage as above. I have been told I am obsessing over nothing. I think of it like this, browser 1 is like a car that gets 5 miles to the gallon, and browser 2 like a car that gets 25 miles to the gallon. You can open a lot (about 5x) more websites before you run out of gasoline (RAM) with browser 2. rrrh1
Let me guess: browser one is Chrome? 1 GB is a lot for a single webpage, unless this webpage is a 1-hour youtube video that is being displayed in 4k
Not if it's Chrome and you have apps and extensions running vs Edge which doesn't do much of anything besides displaying a web page. Without details, I'm afraid you may be jumping to conclusions.
Indeed, that is why Cleanmem was designed and solves memory hogs due to Windows 10's bad memory management as well.
Because they refuse to fix it stating, that it is superfetch and other nonsense and people just do understand, how memory management works, a typical PR response. Yet people fixed their memory issues using Cleanmem, issues which involved crashing and lagging due to high memory usage.
I am not a programmer, can not explain it in detail, but simply put, Windows should release an unused pre-cached memory, when other app needs it, but it fails to do so, that is where Cleanmem comes, it just asks Windows to do it and it does. Some part of code is messed up there since Vista.
I only hear this from folks who do one or more of the following: Don't read memory metrics properly Run incompatible software on systems that don't meet minimum requirements and blame Windows Run broken software and blame Windows Write these programs claiming to fix Windows I neither deny nor confirm that this gimmick could serve as a workaround in the aforementioned situations, but I have to raise the flag on the statement that Windows doesn't know how to manage memory--which they've improved heavily in 10.
