I'm currently using a rom I cooked based off of No2Chem's 5060 (or maybe it was 5067 can't remember) kitchen. Page pool is 6 meg, upped glyph cache to 16192 (or whatever double is). Using HTC Home with HHC, Ultimate Launcher, and I have active sync interfacing with my company exchange server. With all that, I usually end up right around 19-20 meg after everything gets loaded up.
Usually by the end of the day I'm running around 10-11 meg. Even if I use Oxios or anything else, just seems to dwindle to about there. So I figured I'd test and see if it kept getting worse. So far, after about 3 days without rebooting, I'm stilling sitting around 10-11 meg, and no real performance problems that I can tell. I can still use SprintTV, or nav, or anything else so far, and haven't run out yet. I've closed an app and noticed that the memory would be down to around 4, but would go back up to 10 in a few seconds.
Has anyone run long term to see if the memory leak just stops, or does it just slow down?
ive done some research and ive read that the memory problem is a cache issue, that when you use your apps it uses cache and it doesnt get properly released when closed consuming your ram, but the cache is what keeps your apps fast and inproves the performance so thats why you had little issues with performance even though you had so little memory
now, there are roms that handle the memory leak better than others, id recommend kaos take 3 that gives you 27+ after a hard reset and you can also use sktools to optimize for performance for smoother operation, or optimize for memory to minimize the cache size so your ram recuperates the memory back after you close your apps leaving you with maximum ram all the time
