I hope this kind of behaviour is specific to the way the windows memory manager behaves.. Requiring application tuning. In Linux, it is expected that page out and buffer cache "eviction" be handled totally by the kernel, with system wide selection rules. Providing hints on minimize, seems to assume that premature swapout is prefered and more performing than the usual VM algorithms. I understand that application hints are sometimes usefull to inform the kernel about application specific rules... But I also recognize that usually this is most necessary on systems where the virtual memory manager performs poorly. I say this, because the whole windows tricks of changing cpu priority and memory/pageout behaviour using the application window state (active, background, minimized, etc..) seem to suck.. leading to CPU unfairness and sub-optimal memory usage... I hope the Linux version doesn't suffer of "abusive hinting and VM tunning" because of windows VM behaviour...
