Well, I have a half dozen things open all the time (Safari, Terminal,
OmniFocus, iCal, and sometimes Firefox, etc), and the penalty isn't
when staying within a single app, but switching to another app,
as that app's pages are probably now on disk.
I wish I could install more RAM in my 2007 MBP, but I'm already
maxxed at 3GB,
and I can't afford a new laptop just yet.
Isn't there a 4GB kit for you MBP?
