If you want to talk about OSX memory hogs, dashboard is the most memory abusing app around. Each of my widgets take up 18+ megabytes of physical memory. The mac mini (with 256mb) works much better since I disabled dashboard.


I agree. I was thinking how cool the dashboard was the first time I tried it out, until I realized having 15 or so widgets open along with a couple of other apps eats up all of my 512mb of memory. Now I just keep one or two widgets open at a time.
