10.4: Quickly free up RAM used by Dashboard widgets
Authored by: maddys_daddy on Aug 05, '05 12:21:13PM
45MB??? I don't know how you do it. I have 11 widgets open (and yes, I use them all--I'm a pro-Dashboard party member), and combined they're using about 238MB of RAM. And the lowest usage widget is the very simple (and useful) quitDOCK widget, using just over 15MB, and the highest being Apple's own Dictionary widget at just over 27MB. So I don't know how you manage to average 9MB per widget. I need to figure that one out. BTW, the quitDOCK widget is rather apropos for this hint if you don't always have Activity Monitor or Terminal running. Small, clean, simple, and easy.
