Hi, I have moved from HTC Tornado to Samsung i600 (with WM6), and I think that it kills background applications very eagerly:

For example, on HTC Tornado I could run JVM (opera mini), media player, browser, IM, Total commander and even though the memory was almost full, everything worked, and I could return to a page in opera mini after a day of other work.

Not so on i600, usually running WMP and IE is enough to get JVM in background killed, even though there's enough (12MB+) of free RAM. I think that it kills background tasks too eagerly...

I did know about a registry key that changes memory manager's behaviour, but I cannot google it (no matter the phrase I use, I get mostly task-manager tools).
Can you remind me of correct registry path? Thanks!

Hmm, I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2353593&postcount=228 , but it is only for HTC devices (I don't have the HTC reg key)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=373128 discusses this as well, but no solution for non-HTC phones
