I find Vista works well for basic applications such as web surfing, e-mail and applications such as Kodi as long as you don't perform too much multi-tasking. If you require alot of multi tasking of sizeable applications it's probably time to upgrade your entire PC with Windows 8 or 10 installed.
I do keep a memory optimizer running and sometimes manually optimize and flush memory that not be used.
I apprecite if it works for you then by all means continue to use it which is your right. You should bear in mind Vista is now a liability.. Microsoft no longer maintains it, the core OS is not patched any more. IE, Firefox and Chrome are no longer supported on this OS or updated. Yes you can run Firefox ESR for the time being but this is only tempoary and the underlying OS is still unpatched and vunerable.
Vista would be OK if you computer wasn't connected to the internet, but the world has moved on and its now its not recommended. Pretty much any OS these days is OK for basic surfing and email (hell even my phone does a decent job of that). If your having to use some kind of 'memory optimiser' then the OS may not be as good as it seems, you never should need any programs like this!
Maybe its time to try something new Thats my last comment on this
