Application Memory always drops to zero and requires a battery pull to reset to normal.....The system seems to slow down more when it approaches zero as well. Any fix for this?
Before you reload your OS try isolating whether or not this is
an app issue. Are you closing things properly as opposed to
moving them to the background? Are you running Facebook, Viigo,
MySpace? Those 3 have caused quite a few people issues.
I have this problem as well however its not nearly as bad as yours. I'm used to it however, I had a pearl (that should say it all). Get in the habit of closing all your apps (even if it one that wont close IE: Phone, BB messenger , Home) The only App I leave running is WeatherBug and I just installed that tonight so we'll see how it does. Just pay attention to your status.
I run facebook, mySpace, and Viigo daily.. but my memory has never dropped under 20MB in all the times I've checked. I also run other apps... word mole actually works MUCH better with 0.75 than it did with 0.65 (huh?), and I've been playing Nintaii and brickbreaker as well.
So based on that, I'd suggest you look at other apps for your memory leaks... because even if those do have leaks, they aren't big.

You can close weather bug, just leave the launcher in a row that shows on your
Home screen, I closed it out and it looks like it updates about every 15 minutes...

Only 20 MB on a Storm? I would only expect that on a 64MB device. What eats up all that memory? Isn't it a 128 MB device? I maintain around 45-50 MB on my Bold which is also a 128 device.
Something is leaking like a sieve there. Full day's use and i'm holding at 36.9%.
I do have memory cleaning active btw. AIM, YIM and ICQ always on. Used the camera once, web browser a lot, listened to music for 2 hrs and 4 mailboxes setup.
Thanks for the help guys, I started closing out programs after i use them and now the only things that are ever open are BBM, Browser, Messaging, Phone and Home. It seems to stablize the leaking, but it is still dropping slowly as it went from 8.6 MB to 3.6 from midnight to now.
Edit--This happened on both .65 and .75, although .75 has been leaking a lot slower and a lot less.
That is very low for the Storm. When I do a battery pull, memory goes up around 45. After a few hours it hovers near 36. It should not be near as low as you are experiencing. I would think about calling VZW and getting a replacement. It certainly isn't your problem to figure out..it's RIM/VZW's.
