Actually, Windows or any other OS does the cleaning up automatically. This is why a pagefile is essential for most people. Usually, programs allocate more RAM space than they want. When you keep on loading more programs, the RAM usage increases rapidly, even though maybe not even 50% of that RAM is used. Using the pagefile or swapfile, the OS can get the pages allocted by programs that are not currently in use out of the physical RAM, and write it into the pagefile. When a program or program portion which was paged into the pagefile on the hard disk requires the pages back in the RAM (programs have to have pages in the RAM when they are executing. Pages cannot be read/written directly from/to pagefile.) the OS writes them back to the RAM, either, but this time the OS knows the exact amount of RAM to allocate. So, the RAM wastage is lowered by removing the unwanted clutter. These programs do the same thing. They might have different algorithms, but I wouldn't trust them because an OS is developed with lots of research and development which a small company cannot afford. We can't expect them to work as the natural behaviour or the algorithms included in the OS. (Unless of couse someone comes up with a patent worthy algorithm which bests the current such algorithms)</blockquote>
