I hate when people say that "this in not classic, OS X can open as many apps as you want". You probably haven't stressed OS X VM to see that it is far from efficient. And please, let's stop with the fallacy that unused processes are swapped to HD. Every single opened process needs RAM, its usage can decrease if not active, but SOME memory is always needed. Just open Activity Monitor and click in "real memory", if you can find a process that uses 0 kb of RAM let me know. There is no magic even in the most in modern memory management system ( not OS X's case )

60MB? What are you looking at? Real memory during normal use of Dashboard widgets for me is on average 3 or 4 MB per widget. That's barely anything. And the virtual memory listing doesn't matter.
