Not to Well-Actually-Cat you, but I'm pretty sure the iPad1 only has 128 MB of RAM. I mention this because it may be useful to Stone to realize he has even fewer resources to work with than he thought :-)

Everything else you said is spot-on. Jeff On Fri, Sep 9, 2011 at 4:44 AM, Nic Wise <n...@fastchicken.co.nz> wrote: > The iPad2 has (from memory) 512meg of RAM. The iPad 1 has 256. > > Use less RAM.
