Right. Because a Pocket PC runs from a RAM disk, there's
no point in loading programs from "disk" into memory. Disk
IS memory. So, the PocketPC OS simply runs programs from
the memory locations where they reside anyway.
As a result, "running" programs use almost zero additional
memory compared to non-running programs. The only variable
memory consumption is for a few task control blocks and
the instance data for any open documents.
That's why PocketPC doesn't bother unloading programs from
memory when you close them.
