exe and swap file

Hello

is there a way to force a single .exe file to use only swap memory (or
most swap memory) instead of physical memory?

Let me explain better... I have a huge .exe file that gets a lot of
RAM. The .exe file gets a very little amount of cpu while other
processes that require the same RAM need a lot of cpu.

Now, this big .exe keeps for it a big portion of RAM while it would be
more useful if other processes could use it. So these processes are
forced to use swap memory, and the system slows down, since the
physical memory is full and is not expandable...

Thanks

Click to expand...

No. Physical/virtual memory use is determined by the application.
You can however control the priority for each application, which will
give more cpu time to whichever app(s) you want.

If you need more physical memory, add more.
