Mem Reduct Cleanup Notifications and Timing
Use cleanup notifications as timing clues, not as proof of improved performance. Record whether an action was manual, hotkey-triggered, or automatic. If notifications are frequent, review both automatic triggers before simply hiding the messages.
What matters for this task
A quiet interface can conceal repeated work, while a visible notification can help correlate a pause with an operation. The release implementation distinguishes cleanup sources. Keep that distinction in your notes, and separately decide whether the sound or display is appropriate for your workflow.
Steps to follow
- Record the time and context of several notifications. Note whether you pressed a key, clicked the button, or were waiting for an automatic trigger.
- Disable threshold and interval cleaning for a control period. If messages stop, test each trigger separately to identify the source.
- Review available notification preferences only after understanding the behavior. Change one sound or display setting and confirm that it does not alter the cleanup configuration you intended.
- During a performance comparison, keep timestamps even when notifications are muted. An absent popup does not necessarily mean no cleanup occurred.
Check the result
A useful configuration makes cleanup timing understandable without interrupting work. Repeated events under a steady workload deserve a trigger review.
Limitations and precautions
Do not hide frequent notifications as a substitute for checking why cleanup keeps running.
Questions and answers
Does a notification prove the PC is faster?
No. It reports an action or observation, not a controlled performance result.
Why do messages continue after changing one trigger?
The other trigger or a manually configured external action may still be active.
