Trim RAM on minimize

Do TC trim ram to virtual disk on minimize?
I see 3200 KB on TC maximized and 664 on minimized.

No, not in my code - to my knowledge, Windows itself does this.

It is true but it is best to avoid the trim memory to avoid continuous swap between hard disk and RAM. TC is often used.
See here how to avoid.

Does it matter nowadays if 2.5MB is swapped or not?

Swapped write and read (use) disk.
Not Swapped stay in ram (not use disk).
hundreds of times minimized by avoiding hundreds of disk writes .

Does it really matter nowadays (last time i used a computer with 32MB Ram was 2000) and does it matter for TC?
Afaik this is done in FF because FF use RAM extensively, while TC does not.
