Quick access not releasing memory after close?
Firstly, I must say that I am very impressed by the memory usage of 1P8 especially when the program is in the background. However, I was looking at task manager to get some data to convince my friend...

That you for the response. Though that does bring up a couple questions. If the memory allocated to quick access is intended to not be cleared (for optimal performance when opening it), then why does it get cleared when I open and then close the main 1P8 window? Wouldn't that slow down the next time you want to open quick access?
And secondly, since quick access doesn't have an animation when it opens, it opens faster than literally every other program on my computer. Even including something as light as notepad. Regardless of whether Quick Access was opened previously or not, it opens insanely fast, and I don't notice the difference between having opened it previously or not in terms of launch speed. Perhaps for computers without SSD's this pre-loaded memory might make a difference, but it still seems to me like quick access should clear itself from memory after a few minutes of inactivity. Otherwise, it makes me feel the need to quickly open and close the main 1P8 window to release that bit of memory before doing something super intensive (even though it would strictly make a difference for more things).
