Small penuts. Miami and YAM would pull my wife's A2000 8meg system down to
about 2.3 megs after running all day. I replaced it with a 16meg A3000, and
now she never gets under 11 megs no matter how long she leaves it. If you're
running Miami with MUI gui, it is more probably the culpret. If I run either
MDII or YAM with termite, it uses less memory and memory consumption (leak)
is less, but Termite/TCP sucks, and causes me other problems. I've heard
running Miami with the GadTools GUI lessens its memory use. I almost always
run first YAM then MDII, so I don't know which causes the problem, but I
suspect YAM and Miami, because my wife seldom runs MDII. I have 128megs of
fast, so I really don't notice much of a problem. It also seems to be worse
on low memory machines, even 16megs made all the difference for my wife.
