How to reduce the usage of memory?

I am using MacBook Pro with 8 GB ram. Without opening any window, the total usage maintain up to 6 GB or more from time to time.  I am not sure if it is normal. Anyhow, I am trying to close some unnecessary program in order to improve its speed.  Please advise.
Thanks,
Matt

I am trying to close some unnecessary program
To see more available memory, you need to get in the habit of QUIT-ing unnecessary Applications. If you simply close their windows, they stay active in the background, waiting to be re-activated.
Mavericks and later use RAM Memory differently, and it is expected behavior to see all memory in use. Use the Activity Monitor > Memory display to check your memory pressure. Green is good.

  • How to remove the Object from memory.

    Hello.
    Flash file that i made with Flex Builder uses memory too
    much.
    Look at the next example source code.
    var testCan:Canvas = new Canvas();
    this.addChild(testCan);
    this.removeChild(testCan);
    testCan = null;
    but just memory usage still goes up, is not freed instantly.
    so if i load the large flash files on my web browser,
    after 5 munites or something, the web browser is down.

  • How to reduce the level of free text / direct purchasing

    A common problem at all sites is how to reduce the level of free text / direct / non catalogue based purchasing. This is where users enter an account assignment and free text instead of using an existing material number.
    This is often the case because it is too "dificult" for the user to search and find the correct material number.
    How have other sites handled this?
    has anyone found a solution that if a user enters lets say "paper" into the free text box, a pop up appears with a match on possible materials with the word "paper" in the short description? This sounds like a pretty easy function to implement? Does anyone have the code?

    Yes this works, but you have to tell that the user has to enter the text  in the material number field, then SAP will search thru the database.

  • Web report for opening it takes long time how to reduce the time?

    HI Experts,
    I created report using webi. For next time while opening it takes more time. How to reduce the time.

    Hi Manikandan,
    There could be multiple reason behind the bad performance.
    1. Are you using supported JVM version to run Webi reports?
    2. Do the reports contain prompts? Are the LOVs set to "Automatic refresh before use"? If yes, uncheck it.
    3. How many queries do the report has? Can you run the queries one by one and check which query is taking much time?
    4. If it based on relational database, copy and run it against the database directly and check how much time it takes. If more, you may have to fix the issue at database level like using temporary tables, indices, etc.
    5. Also check if there are firewalls or proxy server between client and server communication. if yes, try to refresh the report directly on BO server and check.
    6. Check if there is any hinderance between BO server and Database server communcation.
    Hope it will help.

  • How to reduce the coulmns width for Timesheet in ESS ?

    Hi,
    In ESS Timesheet, how to reduce the columns width for professional self service?
    It is looking fine for weekdays, but when the user is assigned as professional self service at back end, few more sales order columns are added dynamically to timesheet for professional self service user. Now these extra coulmns are jumbled and also wide.
    I tried the OSS notes 989453 in 'listviewerslim.java' , but it doesn't work. Is there any other alternative work around for this. Do I need to work at backend to solve this, If so, please let me know the work around.
    Points will be awarded.

  • How to reduce the database size based on MS SQL/Oracle?

    Hi,
    I had deleted severy clients via SCC5, but the database size is more and more bigger. Do you know how to reduce the database size.
    my platform is: NT, MS SQL 2005
                           NT, Oracle 10.2
    Best Regards,
    Simon Shen

    Hi Simon,
    In the case of SQL you need to check how many space free you have in your datafiles and the based on that you need to Shrink them using DBCC SHRINKFILE command.
    Find a couple of reference docs here,
    http://www.intermedia.net/support/kb/default.asp?id=996
    http://doc.ddart.net/mssql/sql70/dbcc_21.htm
    Also i'm pretty sure that if your check the properties of the datafiles in MSSQL Enterprise Manager you get a "Shrink" option.

  • How to reduce the silence gap of ringtone made by Garageband

    Garageband will add an extra silence (about 0.05 ~ 0.1 second) on the ending. The extra silence is automatically add on while garageband mixdown the track and send to iTunes.
    Maybe Apple just made garageband to be so, just like the ringtone sold by iTunes store, it has at least a 0.5 sec gap. But that makes the ringtone won't be a perfect loop. So, I'd like to know how to reduce the extra silence that I don't want if there's a solution for this.

    you're right, it appears the behavior of the Cycle function has changed, it is very small, but it's enough to mess up looping.
    you could cut off the excess with an audio editor:
    http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#audioeditors
    but being one of the few cellphoneless people in the world, I couldn't tell you how to get the edited file into the phone. perhaps someone in the iPhone forum can give you a tip for getting that final part done?

  • Urgent HELP - How to reduce the number of entries in table MESYBODY?

    Does anyone know how to reduce the number of records in synchronization table MESYBODY and MESYHEAD?  The reason I wanted to reduce these tables is because I believe they have so many duplicated entries that causes extremely slow performance everytime we sync.  Currently, there are almost 50,000 records for approximately 100 users, and I believe it shouldn't be that much. 
    We are running into a problem that it takes approximately 25-30 minutes to sync. 
    Any advices would be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Dai

    Hi Dai,
    please try to run the middleware job WAF_MW_MAPPING. For some applications (Mobile Time and Travel for example) this helps to clean the tables.
