so what do my page in page outs mean?

A "Page-out" slows the operation of the system down because it has to read the data from a hard disk into RAM first, rather than reading straight from the RAM.

All those fancy features like Resume eat your RAM. You can't get cool new features without sacrificing hardware. I wouldn't expect Lion to get much better in terms of memory management. It has been designed to use more RAM than SL. OTOH, 8GB is quickly becoming the norm and $40 shouldn't be too much anyway.

Sure you can, you just have to manage the memory correctly. I am not using all the new features as it is and other things were removed. The kernel task has a habit of taking memory and not letting go when it is finished.

SL had issues like this towards the beginning as well, but they resolved a bog portion of it quickly. They just seem to be more focused on giving us the stupid cloud rather than fixing the bugs first.

Just an FYI, Win7 and SL run fine on this machine, so I know it is a Lion issue.

You don't have to use them in order for them to eat your RAM. For example Resume works in the background. You quit an app but it saves the session and will continue from that when you open it for the next time. That takes RAM. Safari 5.1 is also a RAM hog, it easily are over 2GB of my 4GB.

It can sure be improved but people who expect SL-like memory usage are not thinking clearly.

Not thinking clearly? Really? I understand that more features will use more memory, that is not the issue. The issue is the poor programming that leads to the kernel panics when the OS runs out of memory and doesn't head to swap or release what is needed. I have no issue with the OS other than its bugs. Mission Control and Launch Pad are pointless to me but I simply choose not to use them. Besides, what I see eating ram is kernel-task and it seems that others are also having issues so it is not just me. Lion simply doesn't manage memory well. I suspect it is nothing more than a bug and I also remember that SL had memory management issues in the beginning as well and that got better. So, I think that it will get better but right now it is broken.

Ok just done upgrade this is what my activity monitory is saying



Any good i do see that programs boot really fast and A LOT less pine weeling
