On my system it preloads 130MB of data. But /usr/bin/appspreloader.sh will stop preloading when you have less than 30MB of unused RAM. So if a system has only 128MB RAM, it will probably preload very little or nothing. Also note that this RAM is not 'used' in the sense that a program is using it. Preloading just fills the filesystem cache. If you don't use the preloaded apps then your kernel will use this RAM for something else. Cheers nordi
