Windows 7 standby memory

After launching the Resource Monitor, if you switch to the Memory tab and you will see the name Standby.What is Standby mean?The Standby list, which is shown in blue, contains pages that have been removed from process working sets but are still linked to their respective working sets. As such, the Standby list is essentially a cache. However, memory pages in the Standby list are prioritized in a range of 0-7, with 7 being the highest. Essentially, a page related to a high-priority process will receive a high-priority level in the Standby list.For example, processes that are Shareable will be a high priority, and pages associated with these Shareable processes will have the highest priority in the Standby list.Now, if a process needs a page that is associated with the process and that page is now in the Standby list, the memory manager immediately returns the page to that process's working set. However, all pages on the Standby list are available for memory allocation requests from any process. When a process requests additional memory and there is not enough memory in the Free list, the memory manager checks the page's priority and will take a page with a low priority from the Standby list, initialize it, and allocate it to that process.[Reference]Investigate memory usage with Windows 7 Resource Monitor by Greg Shultz

Noticed a pretty good difference using my 8GB flash drive for readyboost New 02 Aug 2009 #7 It must be over simplified for mass consumption... Yes, the more RAM you have, the less readily apparent the effect is. No, it is not a disk cache. Yes, it is integral to the design of Windows 7. I am just tired of the FUD on ReadyBoost and SuperFetch. Several highly knowledgeable posts exist on this forum addressing the matter in detail. All due respect, Muad Dib, but you are less than entirely correct. Being pragmatic, your answer is good enough. New 02 Aug 2009 #8 CharlyAR said: Thanks for the extended reply. That's useful.Just out of curiosity, wow do you see how much memory is marked as "sleep"?I also wonder how does it manage the fragmentation. I guess it will release the memory if it runs out OR it needs contiguous? Not "Sleep" but Standby. The memory outlined in the red boxes is STANDBY memory. It consists of programs/data that will not have to be read from the HDD when it is used again. When the computer "Sleeps" the memory, including Standby memory, is retained. The next time you re-boot start the biggest/slowest loading app you use and note how long it takes to load the first time. Close the app. Now start it again and note how long it takes to load.

I will be happy to post the MS Whitepaper in another thread if that will satisfy your stringent discipline. But for most people it is a bit of overkill.

But for most people it is a bit of overkill. Half of the truth is less than the truth. You could preface an incomplete response with, "For your particular situation..." or "Practically..." False information begins with partial information. You are being held to a high standard because this is not a lesser forum.
