[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1349223, member: 59143"] About the memory management: The reason kernel task is only sitting at or around 200-300 MB is because you have 3 gigs of RAM. Were you to have 4 gigs, it would sit at around 400+. 6 gigs, 600 MB+ and so on. So you can see how that would go if you had 8 gigs. You'd be losing a gig or so, leaving you with 7 to play with, which might seem excessive (in the loss dept). As far as Spaces and Exposé go, the current methodology of the latter is different from how it was in SL, which I guess isn't such a big deal if we take into consideration that Mission Control is simply replacing it. So we're not really disagreeing here, it's just a matter of rewiring ones thinking to get used to it. The current incarnation of Expose then, should actually work well, if used properly. As an example, working in PS or In Design etc, having multiple projects open. I too only use tabs in a browser, so it was only a point I was trying to make, though likely moot now. Like I said, I'm going to try and give Lion a fair shake, and re-wire my brain a bit and see what happens. And for the record, I already knew about the restore check box, and have always had it unchecked. Another "for the record": Lion is plenty fast on my late 2008 MBP with 4 gigs of RAM. No complaints in that department. I do wish though, that we could customize the gestures even further. I really miss the 4 finger tap/swipe to the app gesture. Doug [/QUOTE]
