Whatever is loaded in RAM doesn't have to be loaded from disk. RAM is a lot faster than a harddisk. As long as memory management is smart enough to cut back on usage when space is running out. Smart usage of available RAM will only make an app faster.
We don't live in the days anymore when everything had to fit in 640k
would you like to pay for a New Motherboard for me that allows up to 8Gig Ram? im sure others would like that to. sure i have 4gigs ram on my board but not the point when Firefox takes so much ram. then you got Thunderbird that takes up to 60MB ram then you got WLM2010 that takes up to nearly a whopping 70MB ram. you keep those running an your system will crash with the famous BSOD. so complaining about the Ram usage is not silly IMO. it uses fuck all CPU.
i wouldnt mind having a bet why its using so much Ram, cause it displays Photo's also from facebook, where as trillian doesnt do that, just displays the text.
