Swimmer Posted February 15, 2007 CID Share Posted February 15, 2007 Unless Vista is based on BSD.. then it is not going to be managing memory the same as OS X.. Vista does have SuperFetch... Which loads programs into memory depending on what programs you use the most. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/superfetch.mspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spook63 Posted February 15, 2007 CID Share Posted February 15, 2007 i ment the way it caches programs in memory after they are closed. windows never use to cache programs this way before. Vista does use caching for memory. It unloads processes after they have run and when data for user processes is reloading into memory. With XP there was no I/O prioritization, which lead to contention for memory therefore causing lag and poor read/write performance. In Vista it implements high priority I/O and low priority I/O queues, leading to better performance. Windows SuperFetch is a key feature in memory optimization. Basically, it just manages memory better than XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junerian Posted February 16, 2007 CID Share Posted February 16, 2007 Well I have vista on my machine it's startup is very quick though it eats up 50+/-% of my ram (1 gig) at startup. It's shutdown times are also very quick I'd have to say minimum of five times faster than XP and it starts programs much faster and while XP crashed on my usualy every two days vista hasn't crashed once yet.
