23 Jan 2014 by Ron Beyer

E.F Nijoeber is on the right track...Windows always keeps some free memory, but in low memory systems it will use the page file much more aggressively. Since the page file is disk based, you are probably having a lot of disk reads/writes. Because only one application (or VM) can...
