Background Processes

Ok. So there are a few hogs that I'm not sure what to do about.

MxT2d: It belongs to MxTube and is uses anywhere up to 2M of my ram at a given moment. I like MxTube, but I don't know what bussiness it has running in my background. I think I may get rid of it because of this.

PdaNet: Does this always run in the background? I don't see why it's necessary. It's using almost 1M of my ram when not even in use.

Anyone else got any ideas on keeping their mem free or any idea on these two processes?

Umm... Not sure if this will help, but I'll say it anyway. You might already know this, btw.

Open up the app (whichever one, I think you said MxTube?) and push and hold the power button until the app closes. Hope this helps

Aha! That's what I meant. Silly me

How do you know the amount of RAM? Is there an Activity Monitor that I haven't heard of or something?

Yep. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_(Unix)

Well, it's no the MxTube process. They have their own background process too. That's what confuses me about it. Why is that necessary? After viewing top and gettin the pid I killed it and it exited and then reopened again.
