I myself have noticed significant memory losses with both BB1 and original
compared to 3.1..why, I have no idea..I have saved about 200,000k with
FBlit and wbctrl. I cannot understand why it uses about 6-7megs either. I
have about 1.9 chip until i open a window and BAM i loose 300,000 and it
does not come back..I was just wondered what these users with about 8-12 mb
of ram are doing?..kinda hard to run any applications unless they boot with
NO s-s! heh
