Subject: RAMMap "Empty standby list"

MagicAndre, you saved my life as well! I have tried all sorts of things in the past; but, nothing seemed to work. I was incorrectly thinking that the system wasn't properly clearing metafile cache specifically; which emptystandbylist.exe didn't seem to help the symptoms.
As soon as I tried SetSystemFileCacheSize, I could tell that it was the solution to my issue (which I've had for years). Im surprised that SetSystemFileCacheSize isn't more popular; considering the over-use of Windows cache is a common condition for servers with limited RAM which also have relatively heavy loads.
It looks like the below setting works best for me:
SetSystemFileCacheSize off 256
