Vista - Speed Up the Performance of Vista

But what about the memory usage?

After hybrid sleep the 1.32 GB usage reduced to 580 MB!!

Doesn't that help the performance of the PC?
Or there is no difference?

I'm confused please clear me.

I think it MUST help the performance... but the thing that I don't understand is that is there something special in hybrid sleep that make the PC to use less memory?? and if it's good, why it's off in default and why it's better for us to turn it off?

Let me know please.

Ali,

I'm not sure why your RAM usage (see boxed in red below) would drop like that by simply by going into hybrid sleep mode and waking up. This usage amount is strickly dependant on how much you have running. Perhaps something is not running now that was before. You might take a look at the Resource Monitor for Memory to see what was running before and after.

Using less RAM does necessarily affect performance though. It just means that there is more RAM available before your system needs to use the page file (slower) on the hard drive.

How does it act with using Sleep only and no Hybrid or Hibernate?

Hi

I have taken photos before and after the hybrid sleep.

Before:





After:





I'm using HP laptop... I think the sleep of laptops are a bit different with PCs, am I right?

It's so strange to me, do you see any strange thing in the photos?

And is it possible that the computer shows a fake memory usage statistic?

Normally laptops sleep just like a desktop unless the OEM has something proprietary that alters it. The only difference is that you have a battery meter with the laptops and usually not desktops.

It looks ok to me. It appears that you have less running after waking up than you did before.

Great tutorial Brink you are like one with this stuff

But can we find a reason for this? if it's right and the computer is not showing a fake statistic so it can be a great way to improve the performance...

But I'm thinking hard and just can't stick it in to my mind...... this is so funny...
So let's say "ONE WAY FOR IMPROVING VISTA PERFORMANCE IS TURNING HYBRID SLEEP ON!! that's it"

And did you give it a try on your own vista? I don't know, if it works for me it should works for others too, vista is vista.

And I don't think it matters what kind of vista we are using...

please give it a try on your own and let me know the results... I HAVE TO GET IT, IT'S MAKING CRAZY!! please, please.

Ali,

I gave it a try to see, but it made no difference in memory usage. The only thing it did do was to take a little bit longer before going into sleep as it saved everything to the hibernation file that wasn't going to get used anyway since hibernation was set to "never".

The only thing I can tell you is that something may have been running before that is not running now. You can test this my leaving Hybrid set to "off" and see what your memory usage is before and after normal Sleep.

You're welcome BadHigeen, and welcome to Vista Forums.

I think my computer is showing a fake statistic... because in experience I didn't feel that it works faster and the performance has been improved!

awsome tutorials thanks a lot....
