With .97, however, I began with 15.9 or so MB on install and it quite quickly would proceed into the 14's (within a day or less).

I am not sure if it's simply based on programs I have installed, but I seem to have had better success with .81.

Edit:

Any idea what I am doing wrong here? I uninstalled .97, restarted the computer, and opened DM (sans vendor.xml). Nothing. I reinstalled .81 and redeleted vendor.xml. Still nothing. Any idea why DM isn't trying to replace the software on the Pearl?
At either of those memory levels you are perfectly fine...if the apps you have installed have changed between versions, that will obviously affect memory, as well as what you're doing w/the BB (more playing/tweaking w/a new OS, maybe).

But I wouldn't go through a downgrade for that variance, at least not unless you saw a bigger difference and faster, consistent memory loss. You could do a couple very minor memory tweaks (remove a few irrelevant CODs) and be above your former memory leve.
