I was not aware of this freeware, available at <http://pages.sbcglobal.net/mattneub/downloads/MemoryStick%20Installer.dmg.gz> It is very helpful to me, to see the memory response to my pattern of application use. One day on, I definitely have the feel that the memory is better managed. Clear desktop still works well. T. Rev A Ti-500/768 RAM/OS 10.2.6
