My memory after a reboot is like 300mb. So I open a bunch of apps and soon it is under 100mb. Then I open the "app dock" where all those frozen apps reside which don't take up any memory, and I close them all. My free memory jumps back up over 300mb. So why does that happen if frozen apps supposedly take up no memory? Strange..
