[QUOTE="Scythe42, post: 941561, member: 95833"] Also similar to Office Quickstart we can keep parts of MP in memory until a restart as long as there is free memory or already loading some stuff to memory before MP is even started.. Starting with Vista (read Kernel 6.x) there are options for this (even without a Quickstart feature). The system uses free memory to cache applications and their resources. Currently this doesn't work with MP as we are always disposing stuff (to be on the same side) before re-loading it. Better state tracking of what is allocated and what not could help here out of the box on subsequent restarts without re-booting the system. This would be GuiWindowManager.cs if I am not mistaken. But need to read up on MSDN if there are some special requirements when allocating resources to leverage Kernel 6.x stuff. All in all this is a great feature of Kernel 6.x that free memory is not wasted. Only when another application requests memory this "system cache" is freed up. But users still look on free memory too much. The Application Caching wasn't really marketed by MS with Vista. So users still use "Memory Free/Cleanup" tools. Yeah, gives you more free memory that does nothing and makes the system less snappier on subsequent reuses of Apps when you don't shut it down (using hibernation since ages). OSX users know this for about a decade now. Anyway, I'll dig a bit into MSDN ans see what we can do out of the box in general to be less "XP legacy" on modern systems. [/QUOTE]
