Doesn't this also depend upon whether or not the ROM has the proxyres setting cooked in too though? That will alter the "perception" of how much available RAM the user thinks they have. IMHO people really do make too much of a deal out of free / used memory. Back in the Mogul days it may have mattered. Personally I've never been low enough to worry. In all fairness though there may be memory-hogging apps out there I'm not using too
