So I've been watching my sidebar recently after seeing my ram useage over 65%. My sidebar's been using excessive memory and I don't know if it's normal or not.
I'm aware of how Vista "uses" your memory now instead of just letting it sit there like Xp did and all that.
Anyway, If I close the sidebar and reopen it with all my gadgets open, it's at about 23MB's of memory. Before I closed it the thing was consuming over 160MB's of memory.
Is this normal consumption?
I've got FF open with about 11 tabs in one window so that's okay, but I've had pretty much the same gadgets on previous installs, but maybe I just didn't notice the ram useage as much.
