I've noticed that when you minimize your program to the taskbar the mem usages reduces quite a bit.
But when you hide your window it actually goes up a bit (for me anyways)

I've tried to use Iconize then hide but it same result has just hiding it to
begin with.

Any help or information on this?

Trying to keep the same effect on memory usage hiding the window (only taskicon in systray) as minimizing the windows.

Example. these are average estimates

Window Shown: 1,624 k
Window Minimized: 1,164 k
Window Hide: 1,624 k

Not much difference.. just thought i'd ask if there was a way
alot of times im using this program during gaming (it checks server status)
