Is that always true? I mean, I'm not loading and unloading applications 
the whole time. Additionally I've enough RAM for all applications I use 
and so I can't imagine that (on my computer with my use) applications, 
which are slower and smaller, can be faster than applications which are 
bigger and faster.

Please correct my, if I'm not right.

Thanks.
