[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1400511"] I'm not sure where you get the idea that Lion was a "RAM hog" in the first place. Until a week ago I was running Lion just fine on a 2007 BlackBook with 3GB of RAM. On my MBP now I have 8GB of RAM and yes of course that makes a bit of difference but so far I've been more "wowed" by the upgrade in graphics card than what the RAM has done for me. Now had you said "geez, SAFARI's a bit of RAM hog when you leave it open all day, isn't it?" I'd be inclined to agree with you, but I haven't seen any evidence so far that Lion is a "RAM hog" compared to anything else (previous versions of OS X or Windows, I mean. Don't know anything much about Linux RAM usage so I can't say). [/QUOTE]
