What is Mac OS Purge?

MAC OS PURGE purges the System Software memory.  In other words, it gets rid of useless old junk from the System memory.

Mac OS Purge is especially useful under tight memory conditions, such as when running with only 4 megabytes of RAM, or when bugs begin to appear due to accumulation of stale data.  For example, a bug in the QuickTime Musical Instruments loses certain instruments until you run Mac OS Purge.

Mac OS Purge does its job within a split second after launching, and then immediately returns to the Finder.  While Mac OS Purge is running, it will display the System Software memory guage.  If Mac OS Purge finds disposable data, you will see the System Software memory guage dip down.  The amount by which the guage dips down will depend on how much old data you had accumulated.

Run frequently, or as often as you feel you need to.
