Better vs best, my way vs your way...  :)

One problem with running more applications in OS X is that the more you 
have running the more files you lose when 9 freezes.

Was the part of my email snipped that mentioned increasing the amount 
of allotted ram to an application to improve performance or did I post 
that in another email. Increasing an applications allotted Ram by 
100-200% greatly improves the performance, especially if you turn of VM 
in 9 and before.
