OSX is a ram hog; I read somewhere that a single window with no
decorations or contents takes something like ~20M of ram. A single
terminal window from Terminal.app takes 75M under 10.1. Quartz extreme
has helped offload the bloat into your video card. It's a good thing
BSD has a nice VM system :)
Once powermanagement gets working on my tibook, I'm switching to linux
full time, it's like a free ram upgrade :)
