So you turn on your tablet, fresh boot, everything is great! Load applet shows basically no usage for processor and memory.

You open some programs, do some stuff, close the programs down, and the load on the tablet's memory is higher than it was after fresh boot.

most of the time this doesn't interfere much with anything, but sometimes it does.
For example if I run OpenOffice 2.4 after a fresh boot its very fast snappy etc.
If I run it once memory leaks have set in it is very slow, borderline unbearable.

I find myself having to reboot the NIT when I wan to use Open Office.

Is there a way around the memory leaks? Is there a way to identify them and kill the processes? Or avoid them from occurring at all?

Thank a lot for any help.
