- Don't know how much of this is rehash, but Cacko fastloads lots of stuff. If I have nothing fastloaded there's usually about 20MB or so free after a reboot. It varies quite a bit, for some reason.
- Adding KOPI & KAPI fastloaded drops that to around 14MB or so, now that the little memory issue on reboot appears to be resolved.
- I've seen the same thing ... I may only have 2MB "free" (uncached) when I launch an app, and after closing it I'll have some larger amount, sometimes dramatically larger. The system rarely seems to mind, and I've always assumed it's aging cache to get what it needs. It could very easily pop some back into cache after unloading an app, so how it works in any single instance is probably not significant.
- I generally follow the rule that if the system isn't complaining about memory, then don't worry about it. (wink) Cacko's memory applet is pretty good about turning yellow in time to do something rational, and the system has actually only locked up once when I tried to load Opera when it was already yellow. It typically pops a dialog for you to select an application to kill before that happens. It runs slower than molasses in January when that happens, but it almost never crashes. Quite like Linux in general, and quite unlike Winbloze, which just barfs.
- So I wouldn't worry too much about it. Hope this helps...
