ROMs: which one with the best memory usage?

Hi all,

I am going nuts with this search, so any suggestion is very welcome.

I am going to the solution that there is not much i can do with the TP2 to be sure to have at least 50% available memory for multitasking if needed.

I am searching for a ROM not using too much RAM, however after a few attempts on my TP2 these are my findings:

I am running MrX-Rom latest version. I really like it and is flawless.
Only the Sense 2.5 as GUI.

I made a few tweaks, disabling some Startup programs I don t use and 3 or 4 processes related to Blutooth i dont use.

At startup I have only 15 processes running.

It boots up at 58% and in a matter of 5 minutes goes up at 61% and i noticed the process GWES.EXE is slowly growing up, sucking memory.

If i am lucky at the moment it stabilize around 63 - 65% but very easily, after using a few apps, mostly opera, it will go up to about 73% and then to regain some memory i have to CleanRAM Lv 3 and goes back to a decent 65% .

From about 62% if i disable the Sense 2.5 via Today settings, switching to the standard Titanium WM 6.5 I get finally a solid 52%. It will go up a bit during usage, but never goes above 64% in idle (versus above 74% if using Sense 2.5). But I m stuck on Titanium.

So, is out there any other solution to have a decent GUI and at the same time a reasonable amount of memory or is this just a limit of the TP2, because you cannot squeeze that much out of 187.38 MB of total RAM ?

Any help is very appreciated.
