I too have had a similar problem.  Sometimes if open a bunch of
applications (say four) and then I quit one of them (or maybe
two), then I won't get back all of my available memory.  This
occurred occasionally with 6.0.x and now also is occurring
occasionally with 7.0 - I'm running these on a IIci with built-
in video.

My problem is less drastic in that if I quit all of the open
applications, I do eventually get all of the available memory
back.  I was hoping that 7.0 would fix this problem with 6.0.x
8^)  Anybody out there (at Apple perhaps) know what is causing
this and how to avoid it?
