Re: +Feb 4+ *SSK 1.5 Preview!* +VZW and SPRINT+ - See OP!! {CE OS 21109} Kitchen and

Scott and anyone interested in running a page pool of 0, some observations after trying it for a little bit:

The phone has 119 MB of total available RAM, vs. 107 total MB with a 12 MB page pool which I usually run.

The phone boots up with LESS free RAM with PP of 0 than it does with 12. With SSK 1.2, no Manila, and the HTC dialer disabled, and a PP of 12, I tend to boot with 61 MB free ram out of the 107 total.

With PP of 0, I was booting with 59 MB free, with exactly the same setup.

Opening \Windows\ with File Explorer is MUCH slower with PP of 0, back to stock speed, taking roughly 5 seconds to open, with PP of 12 it takes about 1-2 seconds.

So... yeah... definitely not worth running a PP of 0 as far as I could see. As far as general, overall speed of the phone, I wouldn't say it was noticeably any faster or slower in most aspects, but less RAM and the slow file browsing tells me it isn't worth it.
