Reducing RAM and CPU usage on a specific manually selected process

Question

I'm using a very nice desktop software for Gmail (and other email providers): Mailbird. But it consumes too much RAM and CPU, so I have to close it sometimes.

I'd like to know if there is any software which allows the user to force a limit of CPU and RAM usage (sending the rest of data to the pagination file) when it stays minimized in the taskbar.

Answer 1

You can trim the WorkingSet with ProcessHacker. Make a right click on the process, select "Misc" and "Reduce Working Set".

Answer 2

CleanMem can reduce the ram usage to the minimum on an specific select process.

But it will reduce the ram usage no matter if it is idle (so minimized) or not. I requested to clean the RAM only if the program is idle here: http://forums.pcwintech.com/index.php/topic,4410.0.html
