WRT to the memory leak... there is none. I have since loaded several HTC add-ins (including HTC Task Manager to close apps when you exit them) and the latest Windows Live Services, and started email polling on 2 different accounts (Gmail pop and Windows Hotmail), and my memory never goes below 18MB once all the apps are closed, which means WM6 is caching what it needs and nothing more.
The new ROM is a good step forward. I've got loaded anything I wanted from the Touch ROM and my Mogul runs great.

Not once did my phone fail to recover on its own to a minimum of 20mb, most times it leveled between 22 and 24mb. I didn't softreset untill Tuesday, and that reset was "just because" to gauge starting memory. I'm also not a "light" phone user. Minimum 3 hours of talk per day, BT on 24/7, PocketIRC in and out, lots of net surfing, POP3 and Exchange server.
Don't blame the operating system when results are so drastically varied. If it were WM6, every person would be facing the same issue. Look to your programs, and start pulling them out one by one until you discover the real cause. (I personally recommend removing Windows Live entirely... and anything else that could be a problem, whether it is a part of the standard program set or not.)

Co Sign......I have noticed the same thing. I have let my phone run for 24hrs with slide2unlock running and my phone stays at 18-19mb free consistently. Sometimes its even at 21mb free. I have the HTC home plug in addition to numerous other apps and haven't experienced as much Mem leakage as the previous Roms. This 2.17 Rom is good.
