MemTurbo Introduction

MemTurbo strives to increase your system performance by performing four critical functions:

Defragmenting your physical RAM
By defragmenting your physical RAM, the layout of your virtual memory more closely matches the layout of your physical memory.  This increases your memory cache hit rate and improves locality of reference for data, thereby increasing the efficiency of the L1 and L2 caches present on your processor or motherboard.

Increasing the amount of RAM available
MemTurbo attempts to reclaim RAM from the operating system and applications, so that when the application you are currently using needs memory, it is readily available.  This avoids costly swap file access and paging, decreases load time and improves application performance.

Recovering memory leaks
By recovering memory that was allocated and forgotten (leaked) by the operating system and poorly behaved applications, MemTurbo can increase the amount of both physical and virtual memory available for use.

Flushing unused libraries and DLLs
Many applications and portions of the operating system load libraries that are infrequently used or not used at all; to improve performance, MemTurbo safely flushes these DLLs and libraries out to the system paging file, freeing up the RAM normally used by them.  While in this state, they are immediately and transparently reloaded if needed.

MemTurbo can do these things on-demand when you need it or automatically.  See How to Use MemTurbo for more information.
