Does workbench 3.1 ever reclaim memory back?

[sim085]

Hi,

I noticed that when I boot in WB3.1 I have 8Mb of memory. I open some programs and this becomes 7Mb. I then close these programs however the memory remains a 7Mb!

My readings come from the top bar when booting in WB3.1

Does this mean that WB3.1 does not reclaim memory?

This happens on both ChipRAM and FastRAM.

That was fast :-) ...

I understand what you mean. This means that if a program was not written to free memory when closing then the only option was to re-start the computer in order to reclaim that memory back right!?

Also what happens when this gets to 0Mb?

Thank you very much That was a very quick lesson.
