I assume that's why sometimes it takes a long time for an App to quit on my iPhone 3G, some elements of the SpringBoard went to the page file and are being recovered, meanwhile I get the feeling I didn't press the Home button for almost 4 seconds (which is time enough for me to press it again, just to either go to the first page or run the double-home command...).</p> There is one major advantage: no more paging the memory.

My 3G used to bog down real bad sometimes. I run a lot of apps through the day, plus sync my calendar, contacts, and email with my company Exchange server. I have a LOT of Exchange data. I'm sure lack of RAM was a big part of the problem. My 3G never bogs down. Everything is instant. It's the best upgrade ever. Truly. I don't care that the phone looks the same, or that some new bell or whistle wasn't added. Performance is what matters, and Apple hit one out of the park with the 3GS.</p> The extra RAM is making a huge difference on my 3GS. My 3G used to bog down real bad sometimes.

While I might not need to use Free Memory anymore I like to monitor how much memory is not being used and I routinely see 50-120mb.

What do you guys appreciate more in the new 3gs, double the memory or the upgrades processor speeds?
