Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - all of my processes are using craploads of memory

first of all: You're running a shitlode of programs (41) at the same time, many of which should be consuming a ton of system resources. Programs like LiteStep, MSN messenger, stylexp, these are all resource-intensive programs. Also, running a that pop-up-stopper crap, yeah, I don't think that's entirely necessary. Me, I just stick with Google Toolbar. It doesn't clutter anything up, it just adds 4 or 5 icons, or less if you like.

However, programs like IE shouldn't be consuming 50mb of system resources, not unless you've got some serious shit going on in IE, I mean really rigorous pages, with some heavy scripting. I mean, running this page and 2 others jerks the system I'm running in here up to about 25mb, but not 50. I think one of the major consumers you've got running there may be Litestep and Style XP, those can bloat your system to some degree. The application of themes might be causing some system slowdown, and may be increasing the memory usage in some of the programs you're running, but I can't be exactly sure.

Edit: Also, I noticed that, of the 40 odd programs you've got running, 20 of them are generated by you, the current user. Of the other 20, I see at least 5 or 6 that you could safely end or disable.
