Erm, Another Pacrom Question

Okay, I have Mr. Spiv's MF2. I set up Pacrom to boot as default. I also set up Windups 1.0 as the auto-start application ... i.e. when I turn on the gp32_console , it boots into Pacrom, then loads Windups.

My question is, how much RAM is being used during this convoluted process? In other words, by loading Pacrom first, then Windups, am I needlessly using up RAM that could be allocated for other apps?

I used to have Windups boot as default, but it only loads Windups 0.9 (which doesn't have the cool file delete/move/copy functions I just learned about ;))

The gp32 isn't a multitasking system, so each app will have the full amount of available memory to play with (when windups loads, effectively all traces of pacrom are removed).

Thanks folks :)

I'd rather not re-flash to another FW ... one successful flash per gp32_console is enough, thanks :p

/me is still paranoid.
