It starts off with just under 80mb of free memory, but quickly I find myself dropping to 25 or less and soft resetting two to three times per day.

Would you guys mind posting up the amount of free program memory you have after a soft reset with the 6.5.3/Sense 2.5 ROM you are running? Thanks!
Zulu, this may not be exactly what you want to hear, but this is a well-known issue and problem with the 6.5.3/2.5 ROMS. Calk is an incredible chef; the limitations that you are experiencing are inherent with any 2.5 ROM. I've tried various and always go back to 2.1. I'm currently running Mighty ROM and boot clean with 107 MB. I also use CleanRAM consistently and automatically, and this runs flawlessly for me. The biggest memory hog by far seems to be Opera, and CleanRAM cleans up well after this. Hope this helps. . . .
