lxk0JNg9Uu Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, apple have disabled the `purge` command, which I was using to free the memory, in mavericks, as memory compression has taken priority to automatically free inactive memory / create more free memory Link to comment
gniting Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 hmmm, 'purge' still works when executed from the command line. Link to comment
lxk0JNg9Uu Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Okay, I seem to have managed to get it working, could you see if the new update works for you - download from http://db.tt/mdQCdaT5 (you may have to type in your admin password, as I've had to switch to using sudo) Edit: disregard that, you'd have to type sudo purge into terminal to get it working, so I'll keep looking for a workaround Edited October 24, 2013 by robbrazier Link to comment
Ahti333 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Sorry to say this, but purging inactive memory is a horribly stupid idea once you know what inactive memory really is. I know it sounds useless from the name of it, but read this stack overflow answer, then you'll know why ;P Link to comment
