iFreeMem overview

iFreeMem... Free system memory for better application performance. A quick and easy alternative to either a reboot or RAM upgrade to get defragmented free memory.

If you are in the middle of using an application and the system becomes unresponsive for several seconds it could be the memory manager organising free memory for your application to use. IFreeMem clears Inactive memory to help your applications avoid the performance hit you get when running low on Free memory. You could think of it like a RAM upgrade.

Especially useful for users of memory hungry applications, i.e.:

  • Musicians
  • DJ's
  • Graphic Designers
  • Final Cut Pro users
  • Photographers
  • Scientists
  • Parallels Desktop users
Rejuvenates old Machines and optimizes new machines.

I've been using this app for years on SL. It works perfectly well on my MBP. Not one problem with it and very effective in memory management. I highly recommend it on that system. I have not tested it on subsequence versions of Mac OS.

There are plenty of free "apps" (if you could call something that just does the terminal command equivalent of "purge) that do the same thing. And you can just type "purge [Return]" in a terminal to get the same affect. And then there is apparently some issue of some tracker that is installed with this software. It's the MacKeeper of RAM purger apps.

Do people still fall for this hoax software!?! Please save yourselves money and read why memory optimisation is a hoax. http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/internals-and-architecture/the-memory-optimization-hoax This was written by the very well respected sysinternals and microsoft engineer for the windows VM manager and broadly applies as much to the darwin kernel VM.

Thanks Tommy_b, I was just about to plunk down $16.25 for iFreeMem when I read your post warning that it sabotages purchasers’ privacy by installing the much loathed, privacy-challenged eSellerate purchaser identification framework without disclosing or announcing itself or asking permission. Well Activata, you just lost another sale for being too sneaky, chums. I hope you’ll take that lesson to heart and excoriate it from your wares.
