APP-V Application Memory Trimming with Appsense

I wanted to check that Appsense Performance Manager was performing its Memory Trimming trick for virtualized applications.

For anyone who does not know about memory trimming, it is a neat trick that Appsense Performance Manager performs to reduce the memory useage on all running processes. I have posted some real world results previously on this link

To test i launched a very plain Word Document in Word 2007 delivered to a 2003 Terminal server with the APP-V 4.6 Client. I performed the launch multiple times on a server with Appsense Performance manager enabled and then disabled and took the averages.

The result was an average memory saving of 21MB !!

Appsense ON - winword.exe Average Memory useage was 13,246KB
Appsense OFF - winword.exe Average Memory useage was 34,351KB
