First STOP looking at how much memory is being used by what program,
unused memory is money wasted!!!!! Why did you pay for x amount of
memory if all you want is for it to be free?! Vista now uses almost
all memory for caching purposes, releasing it as programs need it.
This is why Vista can become faster over time. As for the sidebar, do
you have anything 'live' in there? Like a weatehr bug showing you the
temperature, it might have an update frequency but it may not. If it
is updating every 5 seconds, it will need the cpu to do that. Same
thing with any other 'live' things in there. And if they are not
'live' why are they in the sidebar?
