Process Piglet is a handy tool that stands guard from the systray monitoring the memory usage of running processes in order to determine culprits of exorbitant memory usage.When a new application is run it will immediately observe the average memory use for 30 seconds and then establishes a baseline memory use pattern for the application.After that, Process Piglet will alert you if/when the application starts to consume large amounts of additional memory which may indicate a potential problem with the application, such as a memory leak. You then have the option to forcibly terminate and restart it.Process Piglet does *NOT* have an absolute notion of high memory use - it only cares about when applications start to consume increasingly large amounts of memory - so it won't detect an application that immediately reserves a ton of memory, and it won't detect an application that barely uses any memory and leaks a tiny bit. It's much more focused on catching the sneaky perpetrators that gradually use up all your memory without you noticing until it's too late.Download
