I am using blackbox as shell for my Windows-XP system and for this shell there is a plugin available named MemShrink. In combination with a timerplugin Broadtimer it can be programmed to clear the cachememory what is not used anymore of the Blackbox-shell every xxx milliseconds/seconds/minutes.

It would be nice to have a sort of plugin like MemShrink for K-Meleon also because K-Meleon is used a lot on small and old systems with low ram.
When K-Meleon is minimized on the taskbar, it is only using 1-2 mB of ram normally and when maximised it is between 5-25mB normally, depending on the number of tabs etc....
So I think a MemSchrink-plugin for K-Meleon could save the small-ram-users between 5-10mB and may be more.

To give you an idea about the shell; The windows-Explorer Shell is using between 8-20mB normally, depending of how many tasks open ofcourse and how heavy they are. The Blackbox shell is normally between 1200-1600kb on my system and with the MemSchrinkplugin enabled it is only 412kB, without loss of speed or functionality!!
So at the end I am using a shell now what is faster and with only 412kb of memory instead of 8-20mB with the Windows-Explorer Shell.....

How do you know?

Cntrl-Alt-Del >> is the taskmanager ; here you can see the memoryload.

(just 292kb for my Blackbox now....)

if You do not have win xp like jan?
programs like memload will possibly show use on other windows variants.
