Stupid retarded pigs at SE! If are going to do it, do it right from the first time!

So basically, it's advisable to reboot your phone nightly when charging I guess.
Come on SE/Symbian, we're supposed to be past this with today's technology!

Because the cheaper type of memory modules does not support Execute-in-Place (XIP) as the ones used in P910i/P900/P800, all applications (including Symbian OS itself) needs to be loaded at boot time, hence taking up a substantial amount of RAM memory space out of the 64MB of RAM memory that is available on UIQ 3 devices today. This explains why the P990i, having a "whopping" 64MB RAM memory in theory, ended up having left with only a miserable 15MB after the OS and all its applications are all booted up. This also explains why UIQ 3.0 devices took such a long time to boot up, because each time the phone is started, up to almost 50MB of OS and application files are being loaded up into the RAM memory... so how fast can the boot time be
Ok, i know very little about flash memory so correct me if i'm wrong. Isn't XIP a file system feature and not memory type dependant? I mean if you can open an mp3 and fast forward through it you can just as easily read the code of a program off of that very same memory. Or even if it just caches the immediately relevant code in ram, although that method wastes CPU cycles and would slow the program down a fair amount.
There's gotta be a work around.
