HDD activity.

Doing what exactly? I've already said the game was saved. Nothing
needs to be recorded to disk AT ALL.

Sigh! As has been said umpteen times: *Freeing* resources, whose
content or/and accounting is - fully or partially - on disk.

Give it a rest, will you!? This - operating system design - is yet
another area you obviously know little to nothing about.

You're talking absolute ****ing bull****.

Sure we do! BTW, exactly how much OS code, including memory management
code, did *you* write!? And for how many decades?

I use common sense, which you have none of.

Your thingy may be "common", but it's no "sense" in any shape or form.

What is this thingy you're referring to?

Freeing a resource takes
absolutely ZERO time. The memory my game was in is now empty.

Did you look up virtual memory management? Did you understand it,
*any* of it!?

Explain to me how it takes time to delete RAM.

Let's first solve brexit, climate change, wars the world over, etc..
Much easier than explaining operating system design to *you*.

Those things don't need solving. Brexit should take place instantly, no more Europe. Climate change is in a fantasy world of treehuggers. Who cares about wars in other countries full of religious nuts?

The memory my game was in is now empty. It
doesn't have to be filled to exit the game.

Exactly *which* part of "on disk" didn't you understand? Exactly
*which* part of "accounting" didn't you understand?

The game isn't on disk, it's in memory. I closed the game. That
memory can be ignored. Those addressees can be marked as empty in no
time at all. The OTHER programs that I wasn't previously using will
have to be put from page file back into memory WHEN I USE THEM, not
before.

Stopping using it take no time, simple. The RAM is just free when I exit the game. The time would only be taken when I need another program put back in from the page file.

you one of the 50% of the population with a 2 digit IQ?

Typical response of a pathetic, ignorant, clueless, stupid, obnoxious,
pompous, chest-thumping, delusional, ****!

No, I'm one of those with a 3 digit IQ. You lot should be killed right now.

Oh deary, yet another 'Arlen'-clone! Why are the ones who *claim* high
intelligence often (always) so utterly stupid (stupid as in being unable
to learn)!?

No idea who Arlen is. And I don't claim it I have it.

You lot
really should be thrown off a cliff.

Nah, no need, you lot are already doing that to yourselves.

We'll survive, the clueless ****s will all die when something
difficult arrives.

Contradiction in terms.

How so?

Anyway, I'm out of here. Booked myself in for a few root canal
procedures. *Much* more fun!

Try cleaning your teeth properly.
