I have a client that will run 3+ browsers at a time on one machine. He runs a video on one and browse the net on another and watch stocks on another or whatever. After several hours of this the RAM on his machine runs out and everything starts to run super slow. The only fix is to reboot (or maybe close everything and reopen, haven't tried). Is there an app or something that will manage this? I can write a script that will read the ram usage and auto close and reopen the windows I suppose. Can I run some sort of memory management tool that frees up memory not in use? Firefox seems to add to memory instead of releasing it after it is no longer in use. Example, Watching youtube videos one after another. Load video data into ram, play video, load next video into ram (without releasing the first video) play video etc. Does this sound right? Is there a way to release the ram when the browser goes to another webpage? He wont need to go back so remembering the history isn't important.
