matlabpool RAM occupation

Hi all

When I use command "matlabpool open 8" in my Mfile, RAM of my system(4G total) occupied up to 70% and it remain in this state until I close MATLAB, whereas when I run my Mfile without this command, RAM occupied up to only 40%.

How can I free up RAM after using matlabpool command?

Does the RAM usage come back down when running matlabpool close? Remember that matlabpool open 8 is equiavelent to starting MATLAB 8 times on your machine. Each instance will use approximately as much RAM as if you were starting MATLAB manually.

HTH,
