Galaxy S24 Ultra User Boosts Performance by Disabling RAM Plus and Capping Background Apps at 2

Summary
A Galaxy S24 Ultra user said turning off RAM Plus and setting Android’s background process limit to 2 made the phone feel noticeably faster and smoother.
The slowdown was traced to dozens of rarely used apps consuming resources in the background, so the user moved them into Samsung’s Deep Sleeping Apps list to cut RAM use and battery drain.
RAM Plus was singled out as a drag because it uses internal storage as virtual memory rather than real RAM, which the user said made app switching less responsive and multitasking less fluid.
The advice is aimed at Samsung phones that feel sluggish over time, especially models with 8GB or more of RAM that may not benefit much from RAM Plus.
