It works better in MemMaid 2.0 (it did the equivalent of SKTool's "Compact heaps" tool, but SKTools seems to be a tad more thorough when it comes to cleaning up - the latter actually goes through the whole 'system resources are low' call, and I haven't seen MemMaid 2.0 doing that yet. However, given how rarely I use that in SKTools, I can forgive Dinarsoft for avoiding that type of feature, at least for what I've done with it.

One extra point: The 'reclaim RAM' bit can be done as part of the "Quick Cleaner" - it's a checkbox, so you can clear the cache on the storage RAM and also have it clearing Program RAM. With the 'Scheduled Cleanup' functionality, this potentially could leap ahead of SKTools in that one respect. It also means I don't have to depend on SKTools as often for a lot of the things I used to (the Compact Heaps feature I use all the time, due to WBA3's RAM usage), and the ability to muck about the registry from within the same program is a very nice perk.

I forked over the $10 to get everything else, to be honest - the RAM cleaning feature's great, but the better interface and extra cleaner tools are why I feel I'm getting my money's worth with this. It's evolved from just being a 'maid' to a 'major domo', as far as the PDA's concerned. SKTools, however, remains the groundskeeper and fixer-upper of things. But they make a GREAT combination.
