never realized how much memory Fluid actually takes up until now.

Mine is .91, .38, .15 on my 2.4GHz MacBook

The first one I had Safari, iTunes, Entourage, and Skype running, the second I had Safari and Entourage I think and the last one should be just Safari I think.

The numbers are your CPU load averages during the last 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 15 minutes.

Here's a quick update on mine, for the last 5 minutes I've had Finder, Address Book, iCal, Safari, Firefox, iTunes, iPhoto, GarageBand, iMovie, Entourage, Word, Excel and MS Messanger all open and mine is 0.63, 0.54, 0.35.

0.85, 1.36, 148

MacBook Uni- 2.0GHz

iTunes, Firefox, Photoshop, Vuze, Adium, Word, and a few others...

Hey- How do you like Vuze? Can you play full feature HD movies? While looking at the site they only showed clips of movies, etc. Is there a fee?

throwing mail, safari, and playing iTunes upped my first number to 0.30

Vuze is pretty good. It seems to download torrents faster than Transmission especially large file sized torrents. I haven't used the HD movie thing, but I believe you can download HD content. I don't think there's a fee.
