Could it be that recovering every 30 mins is recovering memory but there
is only a minimal amount to recover. If you added all these 30 min
recovery bits together then you may end up with 100 Mb over 24 hours. In
other words it is working as required.
I am assuming that FreeRAM will recover RAM every 30 mins or if the RAM
drops below 128 Mb it will recover as soon as the CPU limit allows.
On rereading your message I am left wondering how you are determining
the 100 Mb leakage after 24 hours if FreeRAM is not picking it up. Are
you comparing the free RAM at bootup with the RAM after 24 hours? If so,
the difference may not be leakage. Windows seems to put some things in
virtual memory that one would think should remain in actual memory if
there is room. Perhaps when these programs/data are required they are
put in real memory and that is where they stay. Also, after running some
programs they may leave certain data in memory in case you rerun the
program or they rerun automatically. Antivirus, firewalls, spy detector
programs could fall into this category.
