The OmniGo keeps programs loaded into memory as long as possible. It is
somewhat like a stack or cache. As soon as it requires more memory for the
application which is currently in use it will kill (remove from memory)
another process. Since the memory which is freed is almost certainly
larger than whatever is consumed by the actions which spawned the
adjustment the available memory will increase.
After a reboot there are no other items loaded into memory and thus the
memory will show a decrease as you describe. For all appearances things
appear to be working as they should. Regards.

Subject: memory problems

Hi !
I have some problems with my OGO, I mean my OGO counts its memory wrong
way. Sometimes it is enough to write some lines of text and it shows that
it uses more than 20-30 kilobytes of memory than before the operation.
After rebooting (I use memory cards) all goes O.K. and it shows everything
properly, as it should be.
Do you know what's going on and what should I do ?
Thanks in advance !
P.
P.S. Total memory which I can use is not 416 but 408 kilobytes. I do not
know if it is correct or not.
