Alin84,

No experience with UD screensaver, it would be logical for it not to release memory when not running in screensaver mode only **. Experimented by ticking the screensaver option in UD agent and apply. The app stayed in RAM & Virtual Memory and UD Agent told "Task Execution Paused", which is similar to the snooze mode, albeit latter being time limited.

Here are 2 posts that cover the subjects:

There is a way to check in Taskmanager (Ctrl-Alt-Del then hit Process tab), when it has come out of screensaver, look if there is a process like WCG_xxxxxxx.exe. If it takes up alot or not, u got the answer.

There is an alternate approach which is picking a time of the day u want it to run and on which days of the week....u can set that in your Device Profile in My Grid, Device Manager....the instructions are here: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=devmanage#126

** Removing from memory and restarting anytime u walk away from desk and return, would cause the work unit to restart from the last checkpoint saved!

Alin84, it's not about the same, its exactly the same.....so apparently u can work fine with the UD agent and science paused and or snooze, but not when running full time and using CPU at the very lowest level of priority.

Tell us what you see that WAS there occupying memory.

If u go to Taskmanager u can add a 'peak memory use' column to the view. If coming out of Screensaver and u look at a process called something like WCGxxxxxxxxxxx.exe (see previous post), and it occupies current memory near peak memory or in the 50-100mb then its still in memory, just idling.
