Doesnt surprise me to much on the browsers. They have practically become min OS's themselves with html5 and such. And ALL of them suffer from very high memory usage, and the more tabs open the more memory it takes. I use firefox myself and it is the same way with high memory.
Keep in mind, you dont have to stop using cleanmem from the task scheduler, you can use the ignore list and add the browsers to it and have cleanmem not touch them, that way you can at least keep the rest of the processes cleaned up.
But no matter what I think there is always a small amount that gets moved to the page file because that is how windows does it, but the amount that goes to the page file is far less than normal since cleanmem is making windows stay on top of it more often.
I am curious how Windows 10 is going to be with memory as well. Every OS version MS seems to change how memory is handled by a large amount, normally for the better, but at the same time, systems are coming out with a ton more memory than ever before, hopefully MS wont make the mistake of making memory management worse because they think users will always have a ton installed.
