Memory question, why does it creap up throughout day

[ahearn]

I don't think there's a memory leak. The memory "creap" are simply temporary files left over from applications that can be used again if you open the same application again.

An example would be graphics and cache from web pages used when the browser has been used. When you open other applications, the files are automatically deleted to make room for the new app.

I've done a number of experiments that convince me that this is all just part of the memory management scheme built into WM, which is actually pretty sophisticated.

Programs like cleanram simply remove the temorary files that would be automatically deleted anyway if the space were needed.
