MemoryTamer overview
MemoryTamer is an automatic memory-freeing app that runs in your menu bar. It supports notifications with both Growl and Notification Center, and also lets you free memory whenever you want with the "Free memory now" menu item.
On OS X 10.9, it gets even better! By tapping into a system function introduced in OS X 10.9, MemoryTamer is able to automatically free your memory without slowing down your computer.
The FastSpring store (which provides a unlimited use license for the same price as the 3-use Paddle license and uses a more reliable licensing system) can be found at fastspring.com. FastSpring is a much more established payment system that is a lot more commonly used than Paddle. It also supports several additional payment methods that Paddle does not provide. Please note that the FastSpring license is only supported in MemoryTamer v1.4.0 and up, which requires OS X 10.9 or higher.

It's working, no doubt: just run it while looking at Activity Monitor RAM tab...
But I was unable to find anywhere an explanation on how to set the preferences! Not even a "back to default" button... :-/

Is it possible to keep open dozens of applications; browser with half a hundred tabs? And at the same time continue to operate the system? Answer: In general, yes, if you have 16 GB of RAM or more ... However, if you have a MacBook with 4GB RAM? Of course - no, that's crazy! The system simply will stand!
But, believe me, this madness is possible with this great application ...
"Memory tamer" application . The latter, a free add up to 20-25% of RAM, at the expense of efficient compression and memory reallocation (MAK OS Why it can not do?) That allow you to run more resource-intensive processes. But it is possible for a second snubs when switching between processes. Memory tamer, unlike the majority of similar, do not suffer from memory leaks. And they do not lead to freezing of the system when they are doing their job.
There are some minor inconvenience to configure the application. You have to find the optimal result empirically. It is hoped that the developer will be able to optimize the application in the direction of its tuning the parameters of the system and user processes running.

Unlike some snake oil apps that claim to do this or that, this actually works.
The current memory management system in OS X does not work that well. It tries to hold onto all the free RAM, so that if you re-launch an app it will load quicker.
But my experience is as you run low on free RAM performance suffers, Then you get the dreaded spinning beachball. And I have 8GB of RAM.
The developer found the same thing. So he wrote this app to request all the free RAM, which it then releases. This is similar to what the purge command used to do.
I've found this does what it says it does and works well. The only issue is the app itself suffers from a memory leak. So you have to restart it every now and then.
