Why will the storm go through periods where that stupid little clock comes up that its "thinking" and REALLY slows things down and then a few minutes later its gone and a
fast again????
app memory isn't the issue, you just need to keep apps closed after you use them and keep your cache, pushed data, and history cleaned out, that works for me i usually run with 23 MB of application memory, and it's no big deal, if you clean up after yourself or get log maid or another clean up app.
I have experienced this too.... I have Memory up pro from my previous blackberry which works on the storm. i decided to try it and it freed up 39,600 B of RAM. and my phone sped up like it was when i first loaded the OS. I use it all the time now and my phone stays fast.
