Memory usage before and after 3.35

[Alpine-]

WOW, Voice Command seems to have made a big difference in my free memory on my mogul.

I have some basic apps installed on my Mogul (latest ROM).
SPB Mobile Shell 2.0
SPB PocketPlus 4
SPB Phone Suite
SPB Diary
SPB Backup
Resco Explorer+Registry Editor
nueLED
Memmaid 2.0
TomTom
TouchPal kb
PDANet
etc.
Nothing special, a couple more common apps/games - nothing that runs in background or should use memory when not loaded.
Voice Command

Anyway, I have noticed that my free memory is lower now and the only thing that has really changed is that I am now using Voice Command 1.6.

With 2.17 after reset I had 18-19mb and after basic usage it would hover around 16-17 (after a RAM reclaim).


Now, with 3.35, I start with about 19 and then it drops while loading something (most likely VC startup) and by the time everything is loaded after reboot Im working with 17mb. After basic use it hovers at about 15mb or so. Mobile Shell 2 is actually supposed to use less than ver. 1.5 but who knows. PP4 and Shell are surprisingly easy on memory. All I know is VC 1.6 Seems to use a lot of memory. My Mogul doesn't feel any snappier than it did before the updated. Sometimes, switching between tabs even seems slower.

After a clean 3.35 ROM install (+ sprint extras) with no Apps I booted with 21 or so. I know its what I have installed but nothing seemed to be a major offender until VC was installed. It seems like its taking around 2mb all by itself, seems high.

My Startup looks like this:
TPStartup.exe - TouchPal
poutlook.ink
SPBMobileSHell.ink
MemMaidTweaks.ink
Voice Command.ink

My most hungry running processes (when running around 11-12mb free)
gwes.exe - 4.39mb
device.exe 2.64
filesys.exe 2.19
voicecmd.exe 1.81
cprog.exe 1.36
shell32.exe
mobileshell.exe 1.29

And again after soft reset: (17.3 free)
device.exe 2.62
filesys 2.6
voicecmd 1.42
gwes.exe 1.4
mobileshell.exe 955.62kb


Thoughts?

Oh ya, is there anything i need to do to uninstall/disable the HTC Task Managers? PocketPlus has its own X-button task manager app. Im trying to streamline my mogul as much as I can. I guess there is no performance benefit or difference between running with 17mb and 12mb, as long as you dont run out - right? Does my mem usage seem about normal for what I have installed?
