How to force processes to consume less ram?

[lejolasho]

Hello
I am running one program, which is using 50mb of ram in the beginning, then it slowly increases to around 150mb, then resets back to 50mb and the process repeats.
I am going to run about 20-30 processes and if I somehow force that process to consume less ram my system will perform much better.

I don't want the process to be moved from ram to pagefile, because it will increase load on hdd.

Is there any software, that will help me? Somewhere I read, that CleanMem is good for this purpose, but in fact it does not work at all.

I have windows 8.1 64 bit.

Any idea will be very appreciated.
Thanks.

It appears that the program author has the program monitoring its RAM usage already but in any case 50-150MB is not large, I have Firefox using 600MB as I write this with 2 other programs using over 150MB.

Nope. There is no way to do this without modifying the program itself.

But Firemin forces firefox based browsers consume much less ram.
I was actually using it, and it helped. Less ram was consumed and more CPU in result. Don't know how that program achieved it though.

Thanks both for response.

Firefox is free and open source software, and also has a powerful plugin framework. It can easily be modified to tweak its memory management. This is not true for most programs.

Ok, thank you very much.
