[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 930310, member: 51905"] If I'm not mistaken (my trial is over, can't install Emsi and verify anymore), Memory optimization simply pushes memory blocks to pagefile/virtual memory = stored in disk = slow. This is also a strategy to hide actual memory usage from other AV companies. When I disabled pagefile to force every blocks of memory to physical RAM, enabling/disabling Memory optimization made absolute zero difference in total RAM usage, even after reboots. Re-enabling pagefile did make a drop in emsisoft memory usage in the past, norton used to be praised for low RAM usage but actually it hid its total ram usage somewhere else, spotted by process explorer-like apps (committed memory = stored in both physical and virtual memories) I don't about the current status of these softwares but it was my experience 3 years ago [/QUOTE]
