How often do you turn your computer off? Despite the naysayers who say it isn't possible, I find that after a few days my computer tends to slow down. Rebooting seems to fix the issue, so that's what I do. I dunno if it is clogged RAM or not, but it works.
I have 16Gb or RAM, but I have no idea how that rates for capacity these days.
i would just rather add system memory than groval by manually unloading processes or even rebooting
These days 16GB of installed system memory would be considered respectable power user , however regardlesss of total installed memory a poorly maintained or buggy computer will be a misery
With 16Gb of system memory using computer for home office type tasks I would install a 4GB ram drive and configure the page file to run virtual memory off the ram memory space ( also saves ssd wear if using one ) along with the default page file on the disk drive
* disable when installing a new application
