Hi again :)

I jailbroke my 3GS few days ago and, after playing with it and with SBSettings a bit, I found out "Free up memory" function.
And I use it a lot; almost every time I re-lock my iPhone, mainly because it releases about 50MB of RAM at once.

But, I'd like to know two things:
1. Is it normal iOS's RAM value can go down about 30/40MB in a minute just by opening apps
2. Does using "Free up memory" function have any downside by using it very often?

Thanks in advance! :apple:
