It's a good thing for the OS to use as much RAM as available. Why pay for ram if you're not going to use it?

[–] Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It is. But having the RAM running at a constant high load just slows everything down.

Also, teams being so badly optimised that it needs that much to run is just bullshit

Does it? Theoretically it shouldn't slow down just because high ram usage unless you are truly fulling it and RAM needs to constantly free stuff.

A pc with ram running at almost 100% capacity is slow as shit, this isn't a secret....

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 points 2 weeks ago

No it doesn’t. It only slows down when it’s completely full and has to use swap files.

Ok, but we were talking about running Windows on 8GB RAM
