So while your memory usage may increase, your overall experience will be faster and smoother. A while back it was common practice for chef's to limit the pagepool to reduce this memory increase but further research and testing have shown that it is a benefit. Unfortunately, some ROMs that come packed with ALOT of extras go past the point of acceptable memory usage which causes issues with opening new apps like youtube and such due to insufficient memory. For this reason I stay clear of those ROMs. I don't even use cleanRAM anymore as I want the cached information to stay there.

Also, I have no idea about the MMS, just wanted to throw that out there about the memory leak thing as I see it as a common misconception.
Thanks for the explanation.
