Re: [Logic_Cafe] assigning memory

Note, however, that all Dashboard does is staying resident in memory,
it's not running, it's just taking a chunk of virtual memory, causing
more VM traffic to happen. Some thinks it's OK to disable it for this
reason, others don't bother doing it, as the pages are paged out and
if you don't switch over to Dashboard they are not loaded, hence
nothing should really happen. Unless there are Dashboard widgets that
of some reason likes to operate in the background, of course.

I have a very vanilla Dashboard setup on this Mac Pro I'm using, and
looking with top it does not even show up with the top 30 processes
running, so I doubt this is either an issue.
