SharePoint 2013 preview memory optimize

The resource hunger SharePoint 2013 running on my VM with 3GB only, so many times I have a site not responsive mostly because of the out-of-memory issue.

If you right click on windows task manager -> processes tab, there are 4 noderunner.exe process actually occuping so many memory. They are actually the SharePoint search component, the service SharePoint Search Host Controller is controlling it, you can either restart the service to release some memory or temporarily stop the service to release quite a lot memory if you don't really need the search function for the research purpose, which will give you 1GB back

We can restrict the noderunner to not use the memory more than certain amount through settings. But I believe we should not restrict this. I had many issues which are coming due to this. More details are here:
