Memory in Control Panel?

1 replies · 1,824 views · Started 20 March 2002

Does anyone know if Memory in the Control panel does anything more than show memory status and the number of docs, sheets and sounds? Ie It does some kind of memory defragmentation too? It seems to work faster after running it, till the yellow indicator goes away? Or is this just a placebo effect!

To my knowledge, the yellow indicator just shows progress when summarizing file sizes for documents, sheets, sound files etc., there's no memory defragmentation involved. It seems to me the OS is responsible for garbage collection en defragmentation !?
