Except that slack is using MORE RAM even though F8 is actually loading more modules and running more services (forgot F8 was running ntpd and sendmail). So, I find it comforting that F8 is using less RAM (F8 147.9MB v.s. Slack 179.4MB) even though it is doing more. Guess I have to look back at my original post...could be I got the numbers reversed in it?
