[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 745593, member: 61091"] I will look at CleanMem & Mem Reduct, but may not need them, as I may have found the cause &/or leak. It appeared to be a slow steady leak or RAM usage increase, but most noticeable (to me) overnight but was probably happening all the time over the past few days, and either I did not notice or the memory got reset by other than reboot, but reboot certainly did reset it to baseline 3.5 gb. The usage mostly going to paged_pool (sorry if I'm using some incorrect terminology -- I thought my notes were better :oops:). Skimming the data (without a deeper analysis) culprit was most likely Hemidal Pro. I started running Heimdal about 3 months ago, (ForgottenSeer 58943 said something nice about it) it does some web filtering and also looks for updates for certain apps. It looks like it found something to update, I was running in SUA with some other lockdowns and it looks like Heimdal was continually (slowly) trying to DL and update the app it found but it could not fully DL and install, and instead of giving my a clear alert, it kept chugging away in the background. If you open Heimdal, you see the problem, but the systray icon appears normal, and I did not look there until this morning. I think the memory usage had only been happening for a couple of days. I like to think I'd notice a continuing issue like that. My current hardware is strong enough, I did not notice any slowdowns. I'm not bad mouthing Heimdal, I'm neutral about it, but not really sure that I need its web filtering here, and its systray icon leaves something to be desired. I made some tweaks to Heimdal, and it should become obvious by tomorrow morning if that was THE problem, or if I need to review the perfmon log in more detail (to see if I can understand it and if the answer is there).
