Does this limit "Working Set" memory? #15

Closed douglasg14b closed 4 years ago

douglasg14b commented 4 years ago

I have regular issues where some website will start eating memory in Firefox while my PC is idle.

I'll get up to 32/32GB of memory usage, and 125+GB of pagefile utilization for one reason or another. The thing is, all of the used memory in "Working Set" not "Committed".

Does the memory limits this program sets only work with committed memory, or with Working Set as well?

With the --maxmem option, procgov allows you to set a limit on the committed process memory. However, adding an option for a working set wasn't a big problem, so please download the latest release https://github.com/lowleveldesign/process-governor/releases/tag/v2.5.20081.1 and try the --maxws option.
