Help Average RAM Use

[superflybribri]

I am averaging around 275 MB used just at startup.

Which only leaves me about 90 MB free.

Then as I use applications it seems to go down further and that is when the phone starts getting sluggish.

I am just curious what other people are seeing.

I wish that there was a Custom ROM that was just a Vanilla Android OS. Any suggestions on which is closest. I do not need all this added Motorola Software.

I usually hang out around 90-100 after using it (not right after a reboot) for a while. The only lag I ever notice is if I have opened a lot of web pages, that does give me trouble. OK, trouble like I have to wait a second before my launcher re-loads. Coming from an OG Droid it's still damn fast. lol.
What do you have running? Tons of widgets always updating is going to slow you down.

I usually have between 50 MB and 90 MB free.

Here is an article that you should read: RAM: What it is, how it's used, and why you shouldn't care | Android Central

tl;dr is the headline: "RAM: What it is, how it's used, and why you shouldn't care"

Cm7 alpha (a lot works, 1 or 2 unstable things but they have workarounds) gave me 140-190 MB free, with my task killer going, a lot more responsive over stock and blur.

What does not work in Cyanogen? Are there other ROM suggestions for a simple stock system? I think that I will be flashing something different this week.
