Schedular functionality in windows.

Hi Folks,

I have doubt in windows OS, if I am running more than a handful of applications in my system and i didnt the applications which i am not using in my system, this causing performance issue to me . So to solve this does the idle time of the application is maintained and not used files of the same are moved out of RAM to improve the performance of the system?

The simplest idea will be given to me is "If I am not using the application then shud close it.". Apart from this I really appriciate if some one gives an answer to my Q?

Thanks,
Sunil.

This isn't really a testing question. However, I can tell you that may embedded systems use this logic to free up memory. All of the desktop operating systems I am aware of require the user to close applications when resources are low. You can use task manager to see which applications are using the most memory, and close those, or you can add RAM to your computer.

I re-read your question, and the answer is yes (if I understood the re-read). Memory used by idle applications is written to disk (swap file) to free up physical memory (ram) for active applications.
