Sametime 7.5 Connect and memory usage

I have had a couple requests on memory usage with the Sametime 7.5 Connect client.  How much does it take? What are the minimum requirements on the PC? Etc..

Keep in mind these numbers are represented by the latest beta code and might still have debug left, yada yada.  You know the drill..

Well here is what I have found for the standard user on Windows XP:

• When first launched and opened it was eating ~32MB
• When minimized to status bar with the minimize button and not the 'X' it drops to a nice low ~2-3MB
• When reopened to the screen it was ~12mb
• When a text chat comes in it jumps to ~42MB and then settles back into ~35-37MB
• When closed with the 'X' to the status bar it stays at ~34MB
• When a chat is open but the buddylist is sent to the status bar with the minimize it ran about ~10-13B
• When a chat is being typed in with the buddylist minimized it ran about ~17MB
• A voice chat kept the system at ~38MB plus another sametime.exe at ~2MB
• Chat History ate up about the same memory as when you have the client opened
• Instant Meetings didn't change the client memory just added the browser usage as expected
