In MacOS, what terminal command will temporarily reduce the frequency of the "spinning beach ball" icon caused by a RAM shortage?

purge ram
purge mem
sudo purge
sudo clearmem

EXPLANATION

Purging the memory clears on inactive memory allocation, thus making it usable to applications. Sudo purge accomplishes this.
