Yeah, it is kind of complex, but the system has to know it is getting a purge as not to lose data.
So, while you are waiting for the purge to take efect, the app is on standby. Otherwise, if this purged occured silently in the background, and if the app and system were not on standby, you could lose data while purging and working on the app at the same time.
The purge is not always successful, and sometimes it is better to save, shutdown Vue, wait for all disck activity to stop, then open the app and the system should have reclaimed the memory.
Windows XP is not as efficient as reclaiming used memory as is Vista, so you could always use a third party memory manager if you are having major resource problems. The memory manager still has to stop all activity before purging, if not data lose could occur.
