Simple working RAM manager

Firefox just barely works on (my) old 100Mz pentium, 64megs ram,
windows 95 (which some think is more stable than 98) system.
I wonder how much more can be squeezed out of an old system,
by using a more efficient shell, than explorer? I have never
tried the popular, litestep, for instance, but alternative
shells are often billed as using substantially less windows
resources (distinct from memory per se).

98 Lite recommends using the W95 First Edition shell to save on
resources. Anything that does not include IE has got to be more
efficient.

I haven't tried FireFox but I have been using the Mozilla suite since
its inception. I have never had any problems provided IE was not on
the machine eating up resources.
 
I actually tried this one. I am VERY sceptical to all kinds of optimizers,
but this one actually made my system more responsive. However, doesn't
seem to have to do with the programs memory management, but rather with
built in tweaks and it's dynamic cache management.

Crap! Now I have a program running of a kind I absolutely do not like, but
which does work. I tried to uninstall it and my machine went back to a
slight feeling of molasses. So now it's running again. I am afraid I am
going to have to keep it. Crap Crap Crap! :)

I'm now trying this.

It's the first manager that actually seem to run the settings in practice.
