Using it repetitively, it continues to find chunks of RAM to free-up. Where does it find it? Are some functions of other programs being disabled?
SKTools "say" to Operating System "RAM space very small, very small, need some do..." and do some for "present situation exactly such", OS after this send WM_HIBERNATE to all programs and make some other do for release used RAM resources like gwes objects etc. Some programs after receive WM_HIBERNATE can release unused resources, some not. But we have some memory released after this and you can see with sktools "Process" option - for some modules RAM usage is decreased.

usually, through two-three attempts we get "0KB released". This not do any for disable function of other programs. Only one effect - if in "FreeUp RAM" call time active Today window and exist any memory meters plugins - this plugins can be freeze. I think because he "dont know" how do in this situation.
